A lot has been written about how every VAWA "violence against women" argument is already defined as illegal under older laws against battery, assault, homicide, etc.
In other words, all the laws that VAWA claims to need have been in place for decades.
But that is missing the point.
VAWA is not about making needed laws, it is about creating a feminist assault-system against men.
What VAWA does is extend the legal definition of crime --- and only applied to men's behaviors -- to include things like "He ignored me!" "I am afraid of him!" -- and -- "He refused to let me spend all of his money!"
If you are confused about how this has become the law of the land, Google "Duluth Model" and read all about the feminazis' power and control ideology.
