[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for the PPs from a repeat-poster on this thread:

Do you believe that violence against women is a significant problem? Do you believe that women are targeted for violence because they are women?

Thanks.[/quote]

Yes. I believe that both those statements are true. I also believe that violence against men is a significant problem.[/quote]

Okay. Do you believe that the existence and acknowledgement of one devalues the import of the other? [/quote]

I believe that the lack of acknowledgement of either devalues the importance of the one not acknowledged. Talking about violence as though it is only a significant problem for women or for men devalues the other. [/quote]

Not the PP, but I agree.

I'd like to see domestic and sexual assault stigma be gone for both sexes. The whole idea that it's the victim's fault really pisses me off. That could be a cop asking if the male victim of sexual assault if it was what he wanted or the female victim what she wearing. Both are f'ed up and contributing to the culture that devalues all of it. [/quote]

I agree. I would like to see safe houses for men and many more social supports and services for men who are being abused or are victims of violence. Not at the expense of services for women but in addition to. I would also like to see more training for police so that men could call when they are being hurt or their lives are in danger without fear that they will be the one arrested. Currently there is almost no where a man can go other than a homeless shelter if he is a victim of domestic violence. [/quote]
