This campaign is not saying men are the only perpetrators, but that they make up a large percentage, a majority, of the perpetrators. I'd be very interested (although I'm sure not suprised) in your argument to state otherwise. Patriarchal society indeed allows men to perform both in the form of structural or domestic violence. It is not solely men by any means, but it is predominantly men.<br /><br />Also, you state that it is filled with feminist ideology. I'm a feminist and I asure you, a lot of feminists would scorn this campaign. For reasons I'm not going to get into,the tag line that is used in New Zealand (I'm uncertain if it's used world-wide) about being "man enough" to stop violence against womyn is specifically contrary to much feminist belief.<br /><br />I'll agree that the White Ribbon Campaign is terribly misguided, but not for the reasons you assert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-58677411750396239782012-11-24T22:53:33.791+11:002012-11-24T22:53:33.791+11:00I have received a quite "strong" invitat...I have received a quite "strong" invitation by my university of take the oath and to show the white ribbon.

i) no ...Jesse,<br /><br />Agreed. But you then get a choice:<br /><br />i) no fault divorce = less messy but at the cost of making men assume the automatic burden of losing custody and paying the maximum rate of child support and alimony<br /><br />or <br /><br />ii) fault divorce = messy evidence game but some attempt at legal protection for men who have done the right thing in their marriage<br /><br />I suppose option ii) appeals to my sense of justice. If some guy walks out on his loyal wife to marry his younger secretary, then it seems reasonable to me that he is hit relatively hard with alimony and child support. But if a wife walks out on a husband without good reason and shacks up with a boyfriend, then maybe in doing so she is accepting the consequence of working to support herself rather than continuing to get the benefits of the marriage she rejected.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-85679371385058344612012-01-26T17:15:02.986+11:002012-01-26T17:15:02.986+11:00The only problem with fault is that it becomes an ...The only problem with fault is that it becomes an evidence game, ie who can collect the most, and a he said she said fight.Jesse_7https://www.blogger.com/profile/08732509086253241748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-25506832589236545572012-01-26T17:13:18.463+11:002012-01-26T17:13:18.463+11:00All of those points are screaming common sense.All of those points are screaming common sense.Jesse_7https://www.blogger.com/profile/08732509086253241748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-71801629149720988242012-01-26T15:56:31.756+11:002012-01-26T15:56:31.756+11:00I like the measure that would include fault in div...I like the measure that would include fault in divorce. In practice, no fault divorce has become men's fault divorce because current laws allow women to 'move on' whenever the whim takes them, secure in the knowledge that their ex-husbands will be expected to support them for many years to come.kurtnoreply@blogger.com
