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.

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.
