Violence Against Women Sham

(DO NOT FALL FOR THIS STUFF)
Introduced in Wisconsin
LRB 3061/1 - RE: COSPONSORSHIP OF THE WISCONSIN GENDER HATE CRIMES ACT

Parisi - I am introducing this legislation in order to address the epidemic of violence against women in our communities. The Wisconsin Gender Hate Crimes Act recognizes that violence which is disproportionately directed at women is particularly serious because it affects all women by promoting inequality. This legislation is simple and straight-forward: it provides prosecutors with an additional tool to charge a penalty enhancer if they believe a perpetrator was motivated by victim’s gender. This legislation has the support of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault.

This bill provides an enhanced penalty for certain crimes if the person committing the crime intentionally selects the victim based on his or her belief or perception of the victim’s gender.

From Eagle Forum:
VAWA transfers $1 billion a year of American taxpayer dollars into the hands of radical feminist organizations who use the funds to preach anti-marriage and anti-male ideology, to promote divorce, to corrupt the family court system, and to engage in anti-family political advocacy.

The Violence Against Women Act:
1. Encourages women to make false allegations and then petition for full child custody and a denial of fathers' rights to see their own children.
2. Promotes the unrestrained use of restraining orders, which family courts issue on the woman's say-so.
3. Assumes loose definitions of domestic violence that blur the difference between violent action and harmless marital tiffs and arguments.
4. VAWA-funded centers engage in political advocacy for feminist legislation such as the "must-arrest" and "no drop" laws even if there is no sign of violence and even if the women doesn't want the man arrested.
5. Allows the definition of "abuse" to include things like minor insults, irritations, criticizing, ignoring the victim's needs, jealousy, possessiveness, and facial expressions which occur in most marriages and relationships.
6. Funds the re-education of judges and law enforcement personnel to teach them feminist stereotypes about male abusers and female victims, how to game the system to empower women, and how to ride roughshod over the constitutional rights of men.
