Men must do more to stop the violence.

[AussieParticipant 2509]

This bulls~~~ reads like it was scribbled by a child. Sadly, it was written by what passes for a man down here. ( Name is damien, say no more) Basically we need to do more to stop the horror. It’s all up to us, we have to save these poor defenceless wimmen. Come on guys, let’s all do it and make it a safer place….(heads off to vomit somewhere privately)

" I feel threatened "

I am doing my bit by staying away from them. Hope that helps…

HOW lucky am I?

A bloke living in Australia. I’m not dodging mortar shells in my neighbourhood. My children go to school with little to no chance of being shot in the face during maths class.

As frustrating as our politicians are, we’re not on the brink of economic ruin, food riots and rolling energy blackouts … yet.

Hell, on the rare occasion when I’m pulled over by the police, not once have I worried about them busting a cap in my ample ass. Lucky as, mate!

I’m especially lucky not to be a woman in Australia: police allege 31 have already been killed by their current or former partner this year.

Thirty one dead women.

More than one a week. Sadly, it is the norm and has been for ages.

Despite this, it took the death of Eurydice Dixon for me to realise something.

Little things are happening every day in our country that, in essence, lead to such horror. And men need to play a part in stamping it out.

Why didn’t I recognise this before? Why not after the tragic murder of Masa Vukotic or Stephanie Scott, Jayde Kendall, Tara Brown … the list does go on, but I won’t burden you with more victims to Google (I bet those names resonate with female readers, though).

Yes, I felt for Jill Meagher, her family and cheered when her rapist and murderer was caught. Another bad man off the streets. Yes, I wept for Rosie Batty when her little boy Luke was taken from her. I held my boys a lot tighter in the weeks following, unable to fathom how a father could do such a thing.

Following the allleged rape and murder of Eurydice it was different. All I could hear was a chorus of female voices demanding, “Men need to do more” to stop these deaths. On the news, in my feed. Hell, Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette Netflix special pointed the finger right at me! Written months before, it’s sad her message continues to be relevant, right up to the second I write this.

As a bloke, what do you expect me to do? It’s horrible, I wish it didn’t happen but I’m powerless to stop these monstrous acts. I’m not a rapist. I love my children. I don’t hit my wife, or anyone for that matter. As long as I’m not a perpetrator, I’m doing my bit against violence in the home, violence in the community. Don’t lump this on me. Not all men bash, rape and murder women, right?

Days later I found myself in the presence of Rosie Batty. At the business luncheon, she too implored men to “do more” to combat family violence.

I spoke with her directly after her presentation; a truly profound experience. She echoed the words of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull; “Disrespecting women doesn’t always result in violence against women but all violence against women begins with disrespecting women”.

This! All of this! It’s so simple, isn’t it? It’s not exclusive to women victims. It’s exactly what your nanna says is wrong with the world; “No one has respect for anything anymore”.

So how can men turn the tide, when it’s the fault of parents, schools, social media for a lack of respect in our society? Men can make an effort to understand how the world is for others. It’s called empathy. Look it up. As opposed to reacting and labelling a request for consideration as ‘political correctness gone mad’, see how we all talk to and (dis) regard each other in everyday life.

There is a real cost of jokes at someone else’s expense. You only laugh when the jokes not on you. It’s hard to call someone out in front of a group for being sexist, racist, homophobic. No one wants to be “that guy”.

Laughing along or ignoring it only reinforces the attitudes and behaviour. So, be a good man and pull the joke teller up. Rock the boat. Start to turn the tide of what should be acceptable in our community.

“That’s not funny, mate.” It’s that simple. All men can be part of attitudinal change and forge a new standard of behaviour and respect for the future, and maybe a bit on today.

Reflecting on the past week, it’s time for all men to acknowledge;

• The scene of a male junior surfer receiving double the prize money as the female champion speaks volumes about the perceptions of a woman’s achievements and overall worth.

• You should be sacked from radio for making, not a “gross” joke, but a rape joke on air (it’s sexual assault and it’s very much a thing in Australia!)

• When you slut-shame a politician on the floors of parliament and then on Sky News, you don’t deserve to represent the electorate you serve. Hell, if Peta Credlin can come to Sarah Hanson-Young’s defence there’s hope for us yet.

If you’re reluctant to acknowledge that all of these things add up, grow up. Why do you fight the idea of entrenched disrespect can ultimately lead to someone’s death? Is it so unbelievable? Not always, but it’s at the start whenever it does. You don’t murder someone you respect. No 16-year-old “asks” to be tortured, killed and stuffed in a barrel like trash.

At the very least, it’s one step closer to becoming a kinder community, and what’s wrong with that?

John Edwards planned to execute his own children in Pennant Hills, just as Greg Anderson murdered his son Luke Batty. Did sexist jokes drive him to it? Was it a mental health issue exacerbated by a biased family court system?

No matter why you think men are driven to rape and murder, don’t waste your energy on me. Become part of the solution. Channel it towards the law makers. Lobby for change. Support mental health organisations. Don’t wait to be forced into advocacy like Rosie Batty, because you have nothing left to lose.

Hey @aussie

Next time you post an article like that, don’t forget to bring a bucket to vomit in. I will take care of it this time OK?

Your welcome.

Take 1,000 words and run it through the MGTOW translator and you wind up with 14.

He makes the point that all violence against women starts with disrespect to women. I wont argue with that. I would make the point that robbing men in divorce court, taking and holding their children hostage for a monthly ransom, reserving all the lethally dangerous jobs exclusively for men, drafting men exclusively into military combat are ALL forms of disrespect to men. In response to disrespect, all men have the option of violence. Given that the disrespect to men occurs on such a massive industrial scale, and the violence from men in response is so comparatively rare, I’d say men are already doing a LOT to reduce violence toward women.

In fact, I’d like to take this opportunity to shout out to all you magnificent bastards who’ve absorbed this gargantuan mountain of disrespectful $hit, and NOT killed a single soul in response to it. I’d like to commend you all for the discipline, maturity and civility it takes to continue to absorb these insults and not kill anyone. Knowing as you all do that if men en masse chose to allow their behavior to degenerate to physical violence, we would as a gender, have the entirety of the female population on their knees begging to be allowed to continue living. They haven’t the strength, the stamina or the skills to defend themselves from enslavement or extinction if all men simultaneously chose for it to be so.

But we don’t. And I do not advocate for it. However, now that we have established that we don’t do this, how about a little more recognition and gratitude for that restraint already displayed instead of this continual whining and bitching about how we have not done enough?

When I hear even one woman bitching about all women not doing enough to stop this mass disrespect of all men, I will consider advising men to do more to stop these comparatively tiny rates of violence against women…

As I think of it now, I wonder how many men killed themselves in that population over the same period of time as those men killed those women referred to in that article…???

Look, it's not my fault that tornado dropped a house on your sister. Now get back on your broom and get your ass out of here... and take your monkeys with you

[AttonParticipant]

IT’S a shocking statistic: 34 women have been killed by their current or former partner so far this year. It’s time for men to play a part in stamping out the horror.

34 out of 24 million making these murders freakishly low in an already low homicide rate country. If this is what the average Australian woman is bitching about, then they are nothing more than sexist pigs.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

[BrainPilotParticipant 7640]

I just Googled it. In 2016 in Australia, 2100 men committed suicide. 715 women committed suicide in that same year. 2100 men (who could have killed a woman) chose to kill themselves instead.

Nobody wrote an article demanding that women do more to stop this.

[shaunozParticipant 512]

Yes. I read it too.

I marveled at how they selectively report then with carefully wording selectively distort all the statistics.

These are the basic facts – about 250 homicides per year in Australia. By their numbers about 50 are DV-related women victims. Nobody cares about the 25 male victims ( note in the current sydney shooting case 2 male deaths, 1 female death – albeit one is suicide )… AND OF THE TOTAL , 250, around 70% of the victims each year are male. That is for homicide only – does not count any suicide statistics.

tl;dr – Sure, in one category of homicide (DV) females outnumber males 2 to 1, but that category only represents about one quarter of all homicides. And in every other category, and also the total, males are much more likely to be the victim.

[The Wall®Participant 655]

What? “34 women have been killed by their current or former partner so far this year” And whose fault is that for making bad choices in life? Ladies, you need to take self-responsibility. Who was weak in the knees with that burning desire for Bad Boy Chad? That’s right. You were, ladies.

I am doing the best I can to end the violence. I’ve gone MGTOW and allowing the stupid to eat themselves. Once they are done destroying themselves I’ll smile and take another sip of an adult beverage.

Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

[Manspread MansplainerParticipant 4222]

But then life would be boring without drama.
Women should do their part and keep dating scum then go on Jerry Springer for 15 mins of fame.

If women ran the world = It would become the shithole you are seeing.

[Space CowboyParticipant 1466]

I refuse to do any more than stand aside from it all. I won’t stare-rape in their direction. I won’t offer manspaining advice or interjections. I won’t intervene to defend a strong, independent woman who don’t need no man. I won’t feel any remorse or feelings of pity for those who are reaping their own s~~~ harvest.

My life is just f~~~ing peachy and that is all that matters. I feel no shame in that, and I didn’t do anything to warrant shame. I’m fine.

[iMickey503Participant 12465]

Start Parading around with a MGTOW sign:

WE SAVED OVER 30,000 women from VIOLENCE! BEAT THAT FEMINISM!

Oh the SHREEKS!

And F~~~ it. This is the same thing some Indian C~~~ was trying to explain to me.

Women should start Parading around WGTOW signs too!. That way, they just tell these women “THEY DON’T NEED NO MAN FOR VIOLENCE!”

Now this is the Perfect cake right here. Tell women to stay away from men. And watch as the Many women out there look at them like CRAZY bitches. And it ALL goes down hill.

Work Segregation and ALL that kind of stuff.

Just use Feminist logic. One is to much. It works.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home
