So presumably he bought into that, doesn't give a shit about men, and saw the talking points didn't apply to this woman and went "Okay, so, you're basically like a male victim then, huh."
The whole "Can't escape", "Financial coercion" and "No options" stuff was heavily pushed during the spree to open shelters and change laws. Feminism hurts women too.
By making a massive deal about how domestic violence is worse for women, when women don't fit those criteria, this is the only logical outcome.
Sandra Horley, chief executive of Refuge, said: "[The judge's] comments - that he was not convinced of the victim's 'vulnerability' - show a shocking ignorance around the impact of domestic violence on women.
Seems to confirm it.
"What a woman does for a job, her level of education or the number of friends she has makes no difference; for any woman, domestic violence is a devastating crime that has severe and long-lasting impacts."
Oh-ho-ho, remember this one, it'll come up later. *bookmarks.*
Indeed, the entire rationale for a lack of mens shelters is basically what the judge said. (They aren't trapped, etc.) For once, the law and philosophy behind it was applied equally.
