I understand, WollyB. Women have 'hissy fits'. Men have justifiable outrage.
Men are driven by logic and reason. Women are driven by pure emotion. Posted by Killarney, Saturday, 14 March 2015 11:42:17 PM

Killarney, You know Jodhi Meares?...she's the one who has a collection of driving offences as long as ones arm and seems to get off very lightly whenever one is committed.
But with respect to domestic violence, going by newspaper articles Jodhi Meares when she discovered an email, on her then partner's laptop, from his ex I understand she got more than a little emotional. It seems ok for her to make contact with her ex. But guess what Killarney?...her partner was the one who scored the AVO. Suseonline said that told us that men and women are treated the same before the law...which is utter rubbish. Not many men have cleavage like Jodhi Meares which can mesmerise the beak to extent that he/she loses track of who the offender is. Posted by Roscop, Sunday, 15 March 2015 12:17:24 AM

No, I'm not aware of Jodhie Meares or her history of driving offences. On checking her background on Wikipedia, I remain ignorant, as it didn't tell me much. All I can gather from your post is that she is one of the vast army of women who have used the DV system for their own ends. I've incurred the occasional parking fine and speeding offence in my time. Does that mean that I could use this as a legal offence against my lovely husband, should I ever choose to divorce him? Posted by Killarney, Sunday, 15 March 2015 4:57:02 AM

@Killarney, It doesn't matter whether its a vast army or just a few who use the DV system for their own ends. The simple fact of the matter is the system is not concerned about the impact an AVO has on the respondent's relationship with his children and the court accepts "unsubstantiated allegations" It is therefore axiomatic that the system is wide open to abuse. So Killarney don't tell me that women are possessed of too much integrity for them not to use them as weapons against partners.
You should read the 1999 Survey of NSW Magistrates: "The one-third that did agree with the statement pointed to such things as the lack of assistance to men and the often harsh consequences of the orders made, particularly when they involved children." We don't know how many involve fathers and their children because the courts don't publish insightful statistics. It is all part of keeping facts about the way the court operates hidden from the public. To Killarney, because your research skills are not top grade the following link should help you to find out about Jodhi Meare's driving record: http://tinyurl.com/nouw6v4 Posted by Roscop, Sunday, 15 March 2015 7:25:02 AM

<I understand, WollyB. Women have 'hissy fits'. Men have justifiable outrage.
<Men are driven by logic and reason. Women are driven by pure emotion. Posted by Killarney, Saturday, 14 March 2015 11:42:17 PM I could have said "made you choke with anger" or maybe "boil with anger", explode like a volcano or maybe "righteous indignation". I understand that you have an extreme 'hatred','dislike' of MRM's. and they make your blood boil. This makes me wonder what is the real reason that these groups upset you so much?

As much aa Killarney, despises Erin Pizzey, Erin did write about this, I think it was addressed in her book "Prone to Violence." which is available on the internet.
Maybe on one of those sites that causes Killarney to have an hissy fit.
