I think you’re getting temporary POs confused with permanent ones.

My ex and abuser was convicted of domestic violence charges, and currently owns a gun and has no public record of his crimes. This despite being anti gun and getting it for the sole purpose of scaring me. Proof has nothing to do with it. Courts regularly ignore proof in order to fail to protect victims. If they don’t accept criminal convictions as proof, there isn’t much they will accept. Don’t pretend this has anything to do with a need to prove that someone is a monster before taking away his deadly toys.

For what it is worth, our kids are still fighting to heal the damage he did to them. But he has a right to a gun, so bully for him.

She’s okay now, but is fully dumb enough to do it again to herself.

Thank you.

I would, but it is about an acre, and they are a lot tougher to pull when they are big. That’s what I did at the end of last year after the injuries.

To be fair, most Christians are that style.

Words can’t express my fury. What can be done about it?

He’s basically saying that the dignity and life of the potential to be a man is more important than the dignity and life of a living woman.

After all, how dignified is it to birth and raise the child of your rapist, or your brother?

Probably because it became less about getting food (where gatherers provided the bulk) and more about protecting the land you have (which required strength.)

Agreed. If we don’t call out the problems, isn’t it tacit approval?

Yeah, that’s the point I stopped reading because it went totally off the rails. Women have a pretty good handle on what men find attractive. They tell us incessantly. We just don’t care, most of the time, because we are born how we are born, and eat how we eat, and care more about being comfortable in our own skin than with what men think of us.

I don’t have an issue with men writing it, but I do have an issue with the patronizing attitude, the condescension. These guys still don’t get it, and if they simplified on purpose, they took it too far.

I filed for no-fault divorce at the advice of my lawyer, despite clear evidence of abuse and infidelity. It hurt, emotionally, because it felt like a lie. But now I understand my lawyer was looking out for me. I would have been in much more danger publicly calling out his behavior.
