Owner of shelter for abused men and children commits suicide after financial ruin, ridicule

Erin Pizzey took to internet community Reddit this past weekend to answer questions from users. She is known for her integral hand and tireless efforts in exposing domestic violence to the public consciousness throughout the 1970s by setting up one of the first battered women’s shelters and writing the groundbreaking book on the subject of domestic assault: Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear. In more recent years she has taken on neglect and abuse of men and boys as her cause and this is where the majority of her questions and answers focused.

andreipmbcn:
Looking at it from a perspective of abuse and neglect, would you say that there is
a general attitude of neglect towards men today?

erinpizzey:
[…] My problem is that it’s men who’ve been victims of domestic violence, which is
largely ignored by society… and not only ignored, but ridiculed. Billions are spent
– billions I say – across the world for women’s refuges and virtually nothing for men.
And the one men’s refuge in Canada was so denigrated and despised by the Canadian
government, as you will see from our introduction, Earl committed suicide after he
was forced to sell his home and he lost everything.

The Earl she is referring to is Earl Silverman, a Canadian man who spent 20 years of his life crusading for better access to victim and emergency services for men and boys who are victims of abuse. Earl was a victim of abuse at the hands of a former spouse and dedicated his time, energy, and money towards creating a shelter specifically for male victims fleeing abusive situations.

For three years Silverman ran the Men’s Alternative Safe House out of his own home, taking in about 20 men and children over that period. Earl spent the entirety of his own savings to keep MASH running while trying, unsuccessfully, to convince the government to allocate funds for his and other projects directed at male victims. MASH was the only refuge of its kind in Canada.

After years of being unable to keep the shelter through his own funds and meagre private donations he was driven to financial ruin and forced to sell his home and, by association, give up his hopes for helping other victims. After selling his house he committed suicide on Friday, April 26, by hanging himself in the garage.

Silverman’s death appears to be caused entirely by what he and Prizzy have been fighting. He was a victim of abuse whose inability to find services eventually killed him.

Suicide is a predominantly male problem with rates in Canada making it the seventh highest cause of death for men here. In Canada just under one in every 5,000 men will kill themselves. In Yukon, Quebec, and Northwest Territories it is one in every 4,000 men. In Nunavut one in every 1,000 men will commit suicide.

There are many who would argue that men are incapable of experiencing abuse, physical or otherwise. Police statistics, for example, seem to tell a different story where only 20 percent of victims from domestic calls are male.

In fact, according to Statistics Canada, men are almost exactly as likely as women to be victims of domestic abuse:

“A similar proportion of men and women reported experiencing spousal violence
during the five years prior to the survey. Among men, 6.0% or about 585,000,
encountered spousal violence during this period, compared with 6.4% or
601,000 women.”

Perhaps the low rate of police calls for men in distress is not indicative of low rates of abused males but rather indicative of men being afraid to coming forward to police or attempt to escape their situation.

Male victims are being told from all sides that they are not victims; that statistics are so low they don’t matter; that if they were a real man they would just suck it up and take it; that women aren’t capable of delivering the same kinds of abuse that men can; that what they are experiencing is normal.

After hearing enough of that, it is no surprise that men would be afraid to step forward.

Even if they did manage to overcome everything they’ve ever been told, now that Canada’s only shelter for men is gone, where would they even go?

That’s such a sad story that this man took his own life as a result of trying to help other make victims of domestic violence and abuse.

I am a great admirer of the work of Erin Pizzey. She is perhaps the closest to a nawalt I’ve seen and she is a great role model to women. I wish there were more like her.

Latest research shows that women are more likely to instigate the domestic violence and that it is not an act of self defence. Men have a strong template not to hit women and will withdraw from the situation (unless that is interfered with in some way such as through alcohol).

In the UK, the Government give no funding to male victims of DV and the only place where funding is available for male victims of domestic violence and abuse is the National Lottery. Male DV charities have been set up with the help of national lottery funding. Pile on guys and apply for National Lottery funding if you fancy helping men who face DV and abuse. A worthy career.

A big thank you to the National Lottery for at least caring.

Police statistics are meaningless, they ridicule men and persecute them. Hopefully there will be an investigation soon as to which feminist is responsible for misconduct. Watch this space…

A Dr Jessica McCarrick, a leading UK academic, speaks to the issues of police misconduct when men phone the police and report DV. The evidence is that in the majority of cases the police arrest the male even where he has evidence of the DV and abuse. This is totally unacceptable. The article is here:

Mankind Initiative recently held a seminar and it was reported on the news. The footage showed it was well attended. It takes time but progress is being made. Expect a scandal at some point in the future when this blows up. When that happens it won’t just be Bahar Mustafa in the dock.

Non-violent opposition with the truth always wins. Men are standing up, men are speaking up. We will be silenced no longer. Women declared a war on men and we will win with the truth.

As a society that truly believes in “equality”, we should be helping victims of abuse regardless of gender, race, religion, etc. If only there was a piece of paper that says that. Something official like a constitution or bill/charter of rights and freedoms.

Thank you CB for bringing this important report to us here at mgtow.com. It is indicative of how Woman Abuse goes on unseen, unnoticed and unpunished. Further more, it is encouraged and supported by the system, feminazis of influence and authority to the detriment of the victims and families. By Feminist standards, Men around the world are being abused, raped and murdered in cold blood, all ignored by “experts”, researchers of sociology and psychology. This tells me that the orchestrators of Gender Terrorism and those who support it do not care about victims, be they male, female or children. All they care about is the government money they get to further advance their indoctrination of boys into Menginas and of girls into C~~~s.
I call it Gender Cleansing and in my view it is a crime against Humanity and Feminism is an ideology of hate that is breeding Female Terrorism and Mass Female Apathy.
It’s a war, The Gender War, and Men are reduced to fight it with sticks and stones faced with the technological advances of a Men-hating society.
Going MGTOW gives Men the intellectual resources to foil and avoid the terroristic tactics of feminazis and makes sure that Men do not sign their life away into a life of Abuse and Slavery.

Don't let them Blame, Shame or Tame you!
Give 'em NOTHING, not even an answer!
#GenderSegragationNow!

if i were a guy in an abusive relationship… i would be so f~~~ed.

if it were me, my first thought would be to put the bitch in her place… and defend myself.
But my second would be… if i lay a hand on her… i’ll be the one going to prison.
And Thirdly… if i told the police i was being abused by my spouse, it would not be believed and there would be so much s~~~ if there actually was an investigation that i’d probably go to jail for being abused, as all the woman has to do is say that i abused her.

Knowing how evil and manipulative women can be, it may even be those same rules and trains of thoughts that keep men stuck in abusive relationships. How many women would threaten their spouses with abuse claims to prevent them from leaving? Then secondly if married, to leave the relationship is to forfit at least half of your lifes work; half of your life savings and potentially half of your damn income for the rest of your life!

If i were a guy unlucky enough to get in a relationship with an abusive c~~~… oh how f~~~ed i would be.

Thankfully i’m MGTOW 🙂

This is why when you truly understand, you just can’t believe in “equality” between the sexes, and you also stop buying that NAWAF. AWAF. All Women Are Feminists.

They repeat the same types of tactics but men keep falling for them. They used to use NAWALT until it became too obvious, then switched to NAWAF. They refuse to identify themselves as feminists while talking like feminists, thinking like feminists, acting like feminists. They just want men to stay disarmed.

Treat every woman you run across as a feminist. Understand that no woman in this world has the basic decency to value a man’s right to be free of oppression, and the vast majority will actively kill men given the chance, and certainly do not feel the tiniest bit of guilt when they are responsible for a man dying.

They just do not care. At all. I don’t know how many times women have to show their thinking and behavior, all over the world, until men will understand this. Most men seem to refuse to understand. Women do not like you nor do they care about you.

They operate purely off their biological programming. There is no higher level with them, not like man who has been given reason and made in the image of God. Women were created the same way wolves and tigers and other animals are created, they will operate on their own instincts and don’t think twice about anything.

Turd Flinging Monkey’s latest video seems to fit this sad and deplorable situation:

In the mean time, the Mayor of Migtown is out there doing good works among disabled men (many of them veterans of our undeclared wars in the Middle East).

Here’s the Mayor’s site URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdMPdytnpICXabqQE7LG-sQ

In my heart of hearts, I weep for the senseless brutality in the world. For my personal survival, it is not possible for me to rise up and oppose them. I have to be alive before I can do any good for anyone else.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

If I ever win the lottery, I will make a new shelter for men in Canada.

I appreciate all of your comments it shows that there are men within MGTOW that care about our brothers not just themselves.

We should show this by sharing this brother story around social media to combat the feminist indoctrination propaganda because one person saying no to feminism is an investment our and our children’s future.

As we see primary schools are literally exchanging the Pledge of Allegiance to a ‘pledge’ of I will worship woman and they are better than me.

Agree completely.
Men don’t have many good options once they are involved in an abusive relationship. I say, get out- get in your car and go. Pay the bitch and get on with life. I paid my bitch off and it was the best thing I ever did.

I wish the owner had discovered MGTOW or had some other support group. It seems like the nice guys have a bullseye painted on their back.
Another great article Cheeky.
