Wellesley and Globe
Work Together to Magnify Domestic Abuse as 'Human
Rights' Issue

On May 9, the Boston Globe had
an editorial which endorsed the work of the
Wellesley Centers for Women and labeled domestic
violence as a "Human Rights" issue.
That doublespeak means that
Wellesley is using federal money to spread
its propaganda not just in the United States,
but across the world.

The Globe said that the
Wellesley group was speaking that day at the State
House at a "Human Rights Tribunal on Domestic
Violence and Child Custody" sponsored by the
college.
The newspaper said a full
report will be issued in October but the state should
not wait. It should act "now."
It said that forty stories
from around the state have been collected by the "Battered
Mothers' Testimony Project," another organization
at the Wellesley Center.
The Globe continued, "The
tragedy is that these women say their problems were
aggravated and sometimes prolonged in the courts or
by social service agencies. They say they have been
wrongly perceived as hysterical and have been accused
of lying. They say evidence of abuse was ignored,
judges were insensitive, and guardians ad litem -
court appointed advocates for children - made poor
assessments.
"Advocates say women
who fear the family court process stay in abusive
situations instead of seeking help.
"Skeptics may doubt
these women, but Testimony Project staff members have
checked facts. And even if only a fraction of what
these women say is true, it's bad news for Massachusetts."
But any impartial person
must doubt the facts when Wellesley advises its workers
not to be "judgmental." Even the Globe must
wonder about the facts when it writes, "even
if only a fraction of what women say is true."
If only a fraction are telling the truth, this indicates
a huge fraud against the state.
It is sad that this has
been made into a battle between the sexes by Wellesley
and the Globe. There are many women who have faced
terrible situations, and there are just as many men
who have faced the same problem. The judges who sit
in these courts have a terrible burnout rate.
The feminists are not helping
the process by their ranting. Why don't they stop
their battle against men and straight women?
The Globe ended its Editorial,
"More facts could keep families safer."
They're right, but we will never get those facts from
Wellesley.
Sidebar:
Never Argue With Your Wife if
You Live in Mass.
No Massachusetts man can
ever again argue with his wife.
If he does, he could end
up like Mr. Anonymous, the husband of the "brave"
alum who now has all the "power" in the
family because of the restraining order against her
husband. That husband became upset when she spent
his money at a mall or when the kids were tramping
through the house instead of using the backdoor as
he would have them do.
To most people, those would
seem to be normal questions for a husband to raise
with his wife. But the extreme feminists at Wellesley
are not like most people. And they have their feminist
friends firmly in power at the Massachusetts courts.
While it may sound like
a minor issue, there is no married couple that never
fights. As this theory about emotional distress gains
hold among the feminist workers in the state courts,
there are going to be more and more, surprised and
outraged men and distraught children.
