Abolish Women's Refuges !

© Peter Zohrab 2002

Through media propaganda and works of fiction such as "Once Were Warriors", Women's Refuges (known as "Shelters" in some countries) have become sacred shrines to female victimhood and male brutality. Who would dare attack this sacred cow? I dare!

I have in the past tried to contact Women's Refuges, but have received no reply. If I could get the refuges to answer my questions, I would ask them these questions:

 

• Do you give refuge to male victims of female domestic violence (since the research statistics show that women are just as violent to male partners as men are to female partners -- see http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm and http://www.landwave.com/family/) ?
• If not, why not ?
• Do you encourage the Police to arrest violent women, or do you continue to pressure the Police to consider women as automatic victims, and males as automatic perpetrators ?
• Do you have male staff in your refuges ?
• If not, why not ?
• Do you allow males into your refuges ?
• If not, why not ?
• Do you acknowledge Lesbian domestic violence ?
• If so, why don't you acknowledge heterosexual female violence on male partners ?
• What are you doing for male victims ?
• What questions do you ask women who turn up at your refuges ?
• Do you believe everything they say ?
• Do you ever turn women away ?
• If not, why not ?
• Do you interview their male spouses ?
• If not, why not ?
• Do you allow women to bring their children in with them ?
• Why ?
• Do you check whether these women have been abusing their children ?
• If men are not allowed into the refuge, how will you make sure that fathers get access to their children while the mothers are in the refuges ?
• Do you give free legal advice to women ?
• Do you have Lesbians working at the refuge ?
• Do you screen Lesbians and other refuge workers for anti-male prejudices ?
• Do you spread anti-male propaganda and prejudices by word of mouth or to the media and politicians, etc. ?
• Do you encourage family break-ups ?
• Do you just offer free and sexist accommodation to women only -- no questions asked, and at taxpayer expense ?
• When you take in women because they have been kicked out of their flats, are they added to the statistics about all the women and children you are saving from evil men ?

Women abuse their children and then are taken into Refuges, which prevents the fathers from protecting the children from the abusive mothers. Women are taken into Refuges just because they have no alternative accommodation -- men have no such free accommodation. Women abuse and kill their children in Refuges. See the news article: "Mother pleads guilty to smothering daughter at refuge"

If we abolish Women's Refuges, what will we replace them with ? Whatever we had before they were invented will do just fine. The important thing is to take them out of the hands of man-hating Feminists, who have created a huge, money-spinning, family-destroying industry out of them.

The problem is not as big as they maintain, and women are just as much at fault as men are.
