What is the philosophy behind making gender specific laws like VAWA rahther than gender neutral ones?

Question

Is there a new definition of human rights that has been rewritten and if so by whom?

Answer 1

It is because of VAWA and similar rogue laws which discriminate against men. The "philosophy" behind them (although I wouldn't really dignify them as "philosophies") is feminism and polcor.

Answer 2

The philosophy is that only women are the victims of DV. This of course is false, but has been promoted ruthlessly by the feminist movement. This review paper by a Professor of Law, Linda Kelly, documents the many underhand techniques (including bomb threats) used by feminists to cover up all the research evidence that shows that the rate of DV by women on men is the same as that for men on women http://www.law.fsu.edu/journals/lawrevie...

Another review paper by another Professor of Law, Aya Gruber, details how the feminist movement put pressure on the legal system to accept their distorted view of reality, even when female victims of DV were against tough new laws http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?a...

As I'm sure you know, feminism is not in the least interested in human rights; if they were they would be called 'humanists' and would not campaign for women and against men.

Answer 3

I've never heard of these laws, but you reap what you sow. Men sterotyped women into being weak and needing special treatment, then they complain when they are given it.

Answer 4

Doodlebug, apologies, I meant to thumbs-up you.

The issue, like he said above, is that DV is believed to be a male-on-female ONLY crime, or that only male-on-female is worthy of legislation.

Answer 5

it all dates back to prehistory. woman was always considered to be inferior to man and were to be the property of men. it was just a way to control them. it has just bled through the times and we still do it today. just not as severe as it once was.

Answer 6

It's called Feminism.

Answer 7

by the womens rights people...yes...man is the devil and must be controlled

Answer 8

The philosophy behind is the one of furthering the goals of a certain political interest group called feminist.
