Feminazi

A response to an out-of-touch feminist who can't see the woods for all those pesky trees.

G-man:

I was actually agreeing with you right up until you claimed; "...economic abuse is considered a form of domestic violence."

Really?

The Feminazis always lose me and others when they start to exaggerate, go off message, or find the most tenuous of explanations to link one personal pet-peeve to a much more serious crime. Using your daft logical progression, I could very well state that children caught wearing ANC t-shirts is an advert for child-abuse. As much as I wish this was true, even I (an ardent anti-ANC promoter) would see this as ultimately diluting the serious message/s.

Finances and children are often used as tools of abuse, but they are not - in and of themselves - walking, talking, breathing 'forms of domestic violence'.

As you can see, that one exaggeration of yours has diverted attention away from the typical SAn patriarchy that you have to live with daily, and all it's associated bias and hindrances. What you REALLY need is to change the culture (admittedly FNB isn't helping) which is a massive undertaking, especially in black SA where women are still seen as nothing more than chattel, breeding machines and punchbags. There's the real misery, and where ground zero in the fight against male violence is. Reading your dishwasher gripe becomes almost laughable and frivolous when you consider how black women in SA are treated by their men. You come across as nothing more than a spoilt, white, armchair crusader by your dusky sisters (and me).
