Last night was just more stories from other men. A couple of them tried to deny what they had done, but it was pointed out that they did in fact assault thier partner.
The only interesting thing that happened was the instructor pointed out that in our local paper a woman had been charged with assaulting her boyfriend. The paper made a point of emphasising that the woman was a stripper in order to make her sub human.
He then looked at me and said "See, women DO get charged with assault just like men, but it's because men do it so much more often that we see men in the courts, etc." and he smiled. :roll:
I replied; "Well, I'm pretty much done arguing with you about this type of misandry because you will never convince me otherwise, and apparently I can't convince you either, no matter how much evidence I present to back up my arguments. If you can find one instance of the reverse, then the injustices men face today are fine by you."
He just looked at me for a second, and then continued on.
Later on, one of the men asked where the instructors get thier qualifications and where is the materials based from.
The female instructor replied "We take some from a program created in Duluth, and other places"
I commented "The Duluth model is disgusting in its bigotry. The basic premise is Men are bad, Women are good, no matter what."
She looked at me and said "Well....er...yeah..the Duluth model is a little anti-male, but that's why we use material from other sources as well."
