Domestic Violence Against Men The notion that all men are evil and violent and that all women are innocent and justified, which is the portrayal being bantered about by domestic violence awareness advocates is unconscionable. I cannot defend other peoples research. I know that my mother beat me to the point of unconsciousness (sporadically) over the years. My first wife, who had uncontrollable diabetes, shot me for spending three dollars out of my paycheck. My second wife stabbed me. Her court-appointed psychologist spouted all kinds of rhetoric about the innocence of women and the battered women's syndrome. We were not even getting divorced, there had never been any violence. For that matter, there had never even been many disagreements, let alone arguments. Subsequent therapy revealed that she was suffering from paranoia and acted out against me as a result of projection (wherein she projected her own noxious qualities, to me). The motivation for those women to act violently was not a result of a man's inherent violence toward women. Obviously, there were underlying complications in all of their personalities that facilitated and or created a propensity for violence. I was told by the court-appointed therapist that the violence from my second wife was my fault, because since my mother beat me and my first wife shot me, I "sought out women that were this way." While it may be true that I consciously or subconsciously sought women that had those characteristics, to have a woman's unprovoked violence to be dismissed by a "professional" as my fault, shocks the conscience. Certainly I believe in accountability and responsibility and ultimately, we all make choices that may lead us to an inevitable or expected result, but to say it is my fault is no less rational than saying that it is women's fault that they get battered.

We were cosponsors of the American Medical Association - Bureau of Justice National Conference on Domestic Violence held in March of this year.

Domestic violence is a confusing and disturbing phenomena, perhaps rooted in the frustrations and disappointments of a hectic society, but it is not gender specific as some would have us believe. In what has been called a "dance of mutual destruction", mainstream research indicates that men and women abuse each other with almost equal frequency. For instance, the statistic that "one woman is battered every 15 seconds" (1.8 million per year) is based on

Men Stopping Violence was founded in 1982 based on the premise that men can work together, in alliance with the battered women's movement, to end men's violence against women. We are a social change organization dedicated to ending men's violence against women. This violence is a manifestation of social norms that promote the subjection of women. While Men Stopping Violence works with individual men who batter, we know that substantive change involves shifting the norms that tacitly condone and promote violence against women. Men can work as allies to end violence against women-individual and institutional. Men Stopping Violence is committed to ending all forms of oppression and creating a world that respects all forms of life. MSV's 20th Anniversary Gala!
