    In the particular case with my good friends John and Shandel. They were a fairly new couple, they had just recently had a child.

    Anyway, Shandel was going away for a couple of days and that morning she tried to wake John up to see her off. He basically refused and fell back to sleep. So Shandel jumped on him and started hitting him. He tried to restrain her in defense. They were yelling and screaming at each other when the police showed up, a neighbour had called it in.

    The police asked both of them what had happened and they both honestly gave the same story. They photographed Shandel's bruises (restraint marks) and ignored John's. Then they took John out of the home, slapped a 6 month restraining order on him and charged them both with Assault level 1.

    They went to court after a long time of not seeing each other and him having to pay the bills and support his child through an intermediary. They both plead guilty with diversion and were sentanced to 3 months of anger management counseling.

    John describes his anger management sessions as a bunch of guys sitting around on metal foldable chairs talking about how to control their anger.

    Shandel describes her counseling sessions as a bunch of women, sitting around on plush couches, with coffee and doughnuts, talking about how to diffuse their husband's anger.

    I asked John if they had any coffee or doughnuts or anything of the sort and he said no they did not. I asked Shandel if she was given any methods of dealing with her own anger and she said they did not.

    What is equal about that? Shandel recognized the inequalities, but I don't think John did. Shandel admits straight up she was the agressor and John was defending himself through restraint. None of that mattered to the police, or to the courts. To this day it makes me sick.
    wow that's pretty fucked up. wow. totally fucked up.

Problems will always exist, the problem comes in when they are widely accepted and ignored (much like the examples you mentioned).

    I was a slave to my ex-girlfriend.

    Yea man, it's bothered me for a long time, especially when I see these gender equality movements advocating women's rights and totally ignoring other aspects of gender inequality.

    Did you prefer it that way? I'm guessing not. My friend hates her life and is constantly in tears but is afraid to leave.

    i know this article isn't directly related but i think it fits in. A little background. James Madison University in VA just cut 10 sports to comply with title IX...gender equality mandates. The SI link is a commentary and the nytimes is more of the story and some background.

    No, I didn't like it at all. Especially the premise that since I am a guy I am apt to cheat on her, and she constantly accused me of such.

    I don't really want to talk about it actually. I am glad it's over and I'm more cautious now.

    That's fucked up man, gender equality mandates are bullshit.

    In Canada gender equality mandates companies have to hire a certain number of minorities, including women. So a white guy more qualified for the job than a black guy or a woman, will not get the job because of his skin colour and gender.

    Actually when you fill out an application often it will have a spot to fill out if you are a visible minority, because ultimately they have to hire visible minorities, they don't have to hire white men. So that is clearly not equal. I appreciate what it is they are trying to do, but it's actually having a negative effect on our society.

    No problems. :)

    I actually have been wanting some advice about my friend though but didn't really know where to ask for it here. I guess the AET but I don't really know most of those guys. I'm extremely worried about her and don't have a clue how to help her.

    Honestly, she shouldn't stick around like that. I was so relieved when I got out of that situation. No one should dominate a relationship, unfortunately it happens a lot. Giver her my phone number ;)

    i agree (shit, we're not agreeing are we?). The quotas and mandates were definitely needed at times, but i was hoping that we as a society had moved passed where we have to mandate equality or if we don't get something we wouldn't scream it's b/c of inequality.

    I used to work in a factory and learned that the factory was required by law to hire an equal amout of women to men. But the factory was only legally allowed to make women lift less than 50 lbs.

    So... Hooters should have to hire 50% male waitresses.

    She comes to work with bruises all over. I tried to get her to have some pictures taken of them but she says 'yeah, I will do that.' and never does. And get this, she went to the store the other day and I guess she stayed out longer than she was supposed...anyways, he called the store, had them page her and then told her to come home! She's not 'allowed' to have a myspace, he deleted the one she had, and he has to approve of all the sites she visits. He constantly belittles her in front of people and criticizes everything she does or says. And here's the kicker, he's unemployeed and has been for quite sometime! She told me he goes out and buys beer everyday and makes her use .99 cent VO5 shampoo to save on money.

    I wish she would take somebody's number and get the hell outta there. She's drop dead gorgeous and would have no problem replacing this jackass.

    Well it's sad, but the only reason I complain about our system of equality, is because I know you have to whine and complain to get anything fixed. It shouldn't be that way, people should be able to see reality without becoming polarized and defensive. If I even hint that white men are in any way less fortunate than others, I am laughed at, called racist, sexist, etc.. Which is fucking ridiculous. Ok, I know women get fucked, I know minorities get fucked when applying for jobs run by racist or sexist assholes. But the legislation makes it legal to discriminate against all white men, wether they are the racist/sexist assholes or not.

    Sounds like her situation will only get worse. I've learned that in relationships there tends to be no comfort room. You can't back down with out the other person taking over. You have to be constantly at war for your own personal freedom in that situation. It's a losing battle.

    My ex never beat me, she threatened to murder me a couple of times, but I just laughed at her and said honestly I was upset that she intended to kill me. She should really get out of that relationship, it won't get any better, that's for sure.

    there's tens of millions of people on MySpace. the media reports five stories about older men using MySpace to prey on teenage girls... and now somehow all men over 30 with a MySpace page are suspect.

    Sorry to hear about that kind of abuse. :(

    The problem is not that she's too stupid to move on. It's that she fears for her life. She has also told me of waking up in the middle of the night, gasping for breath and his hands around her neck....outta nowhere! I don't believe in murdering anyone usually but that guy would have to go!

    Hmm, this kind of situation is rough. Though I think, if she were to up and leave one night with no word, he would be even more pissed off than if she told him before hand he was leaving. In my experience, though I am not that kind of guy. She could have him charged or a restraining order placed on him as well. I know it's a rough situation, but it does get worse, and it's possible a guy like that would hurt her seriously without her leaving. But you and I know what's best as outsiders. That can't change her mind about it. Well, you can influence her, but only to a point. You can't force her to leave.
