Males Suffer Horrific Rate of Psychological Abuse.

© Peter Zohrab 2007

 

Males suffer a horrific rate of psychological abuse in Feminist countries, because:

1. the physical and sexual abuse they suffer at the hands of females is ignored; and
2. the Feminist establishment concentrates on brainwashing the population, by implying that males are responsible for almost everything bad that happens in society.

The New Zealand Herald reported on October 25 2007 that "Maori girls suffer (a) 'horrific' rate of abuse." The article was about the findings of an international study which found that Maori women reported experiencing more sexual abuse than non-Maori women in New Zealand. The article mentioned -- right at the end -- that "the survey covered only women so it did not necessarily mean that Maori men were also more likely to be perpetrators." However, since the speaker was a so-called "Rape Prevention Education director," it probably did NOT mean (as it should have meant) that she thought that women also committed sexual abuse. It probably just meant that she thought a lot of the abuse might have been committed by non-Maori men! Of course, the international study did not bother asking men about their exaperience of sexual abuse by women, because that would have detracted from the man-bashing purpose of the study (see below)!

 

Brainwashing Techniques

It is not for nothing that I call many Feminists "Feminazis"! Goebbels is alive and well, but she has become a Feminist.

Psychology is a Female-dominated and Feminist-dominated area, and Psychologists know how to brainwash people without telling straight untruths:

1. The Availability Heuristic causes people to "judge frequency by assessing whether relevant examples can be easily retrieved from memory or whether this memory retrieval requires great effort" (M.W. Maitland, 2005. Cognition (6th ed.) Hoboken, NJ: Wiley, p. 422). So Feminists do not actually have to claim that most perpetrators of sex abuse or domestic violence (etc.) are male -- all they really have to do is keep publicising examples where men are the perpetrators, and few or no examples where women are the perpetrators. This is what Feminists do now. The result is that examples of male perpetrators come to mind much more easily than examples of female perpetrators, and so people believe firmly that most such perpetrators are male.
2. "The Framing Effect demonstrates that the outcome of a decision can be influenced by two factors: (1) the background context of the choice and (2) the way in which a question is worded (or framed)." (Maitland 2005, p. 434). Since the Feminists largely control the sex-war agenda through their personnel in the media, education system, United Nations, and elsewhere, and through wholely Feminist institutions such as Women's Studies Departments and Ministries of Womens' Affairs, etc., they are in a position to dictate the framing of most sex war-relevant issues and bias the debate.

   In New Zealand, the Crimes Act 1961 was amended in 2004 to make sexual abuse by females a crime -- previously, it had not been a crime, so it is not surprising that it did not crop up in the media! This (previous) double standard and chivalry towards women is similar to what happened in 19th Century Britain, where Queen Victoria blocked the passing of a law which would have criminalised lesbianism -- because she could not believe it existed! According to the article Skimmington Revisited (M.J. George, The Journal of Men's Studies, Vol. 10, No. 2, Winter 2002, 111-127) there were times in history when men were punished for being victims of their wives' violence! This mentality does not seem to have completely disappeared, and discussions of sex-war issues should take this into account. In Domestic Violence, Gender, and Perceptions of Justice, an experimental study of people's reactions to identical hypothetical scenarios of male, as compared to female domestic violence, N. T. Feather (Sex Roles, Vol. 35, Nos. 7/8, 1996) found that:

"Participants were more negative to the husband than to the wife in regard to responsibility for the offense, deservingness of the penalty, seriousness of the offense, perceived harshness of the penalty, reported positive affect, and reported sympathy."

That 2004 amendment to the Crimes Act in New Zealand -- despite treating male and female sex crimes equally, for once, still retained the word "Rape" for the male-on-female version! So, why would it do that? Well, it was obviously because of all the emotional mileage that the Feminists could still make by throwing around the scare-word "Rape"! They could use the word "Rape" to frame debates and to name their organisations, such as "Rape Crisis." They could keep talking about "Rape", and men could never claim that they had been raped, because, legally, the word only applied to female victims! This takes advantage of the Availability Heuristic.

The Truth About Sexual Abuse

The article Violence and Sexual Coercion in High School Students' Dating Relationships (S.M. Jackson, F. Cram & F.W. Seymour, Journal of Family Violence, Vol. 15, No. 1, 2000, 23-36, p. 29) found that:

"Overall, 130 female students (76.9%) and 91 male students (67.4%) reported they had experienced one or more incidents of unwanted sexual activity."

It is also worth noting that, as I wrote in the article Penis Envy, Breast-Feeding, and Child Sexual Abuse,

Researchers have found (a)parallel in sexual arousal during intercourse, birth and breastfeeding. A seldom-studied hormone, oxytocin--which we label the caregiving hormone--flows in a woman's body during all three stages. In intercourse, this hormone's release is triggered by orgasm; in labor, by the onset of contractions; and in breastfeeding, by each letdown of milk."

So there is a case for saying that breastfeeding is equivalent to child sexual abuse -- a form of child sexual abuse that is sanctioned by society.

The article Sexual Arousal and Arousability to Pedophilic Stimuli in a Community Sample of Normal Men (G. C. Nagayama Hall, R. Hirschman, & L. L. Oliver, Behavior Therapy 26, 681-694, 1995) found that

"Over 1/4 of the current subjects self-reported pedophilic interest or exhibited penile arousal to pedophilic stimuli that equalled or exceeded arousal to adult stimuli."

• Since the Feminists were the ones who brought so much attention to the issue of sexual abuse, and use it to attack the Catholic Church,
• since women get away with deriving sexual pleasure from breastfeeding, and
• since pedophilic arousal seems to be such a "normal" phenomenon amongst men,

  there is a case for rethinking the whole issue of child sexual abuse.

 

Society has always been biased against men, and Feminism has been working hard to increase that bias!
