Batterers 101: Another look at the power and control wheel

We are nearing the end of another year. There have been some victories for battered moms and their children. There have also been many more moms forced into this strange twilight existence known as non-custodial mommy. We made progress and we have been shoved down. I thought now would be a good time to point out that the holidays are the worst time for the victims, especially those victims of the father's rights crowd and their leaders, followers, and assorted cult gang members.

So we have here a lesson in Battering 101. We turn to the Power and Control wheel and focus on two of the wedges. The first is the using "Using Coercion and Threats" wedge and the second is the "Using Isolation" wedge. You may ask why I am going over this with you gentle reader. Many of you know the tactics, it is simply amazing it is not more apparent to others.

Now to connect the dots for you.

I was sent this image (as far as I know it is unaltered and you can check this information by dates and times if you feel so inclined. We have a well-known woman hater, father's rights advocates stating this:

Removing "friends" who associate with and promote a gender-biased (man-hating) unbalanced (disturbed) mothers rights advocate. The rest of us know that this has nothing to do with gender. CD, your hatred is counter-productive to real reform. But thanks for showing your true colors.

and directly below it, this:

I'll give people until Jan. 1 to disassociate from her before I cut them. This is warning #1.

Okay so first we have an "advocate" for "equality" and presumably peace telling people that they MUST remove 'CD' or they will be removed from her friends list. Now to me (forgive me if I am wrong) sounds a lot like isolation to me. IE: You either do not be friends with this person and only with people I deem to be okay, or I will take you off my friends list. So she is now isolating the people on her friends list from being friends with the mysterious 'CD' or they will no longer be allowed the privilege of being her friend.

Can we say COERCION/THREATS and ISOLATION? I wonder if we were to look back at many of the nasty things being said by this "advocate" whether we would indeed find more similarities to the Power and Control wheel? Does she engage in any other activities like this destined to make the P/C list?

Readers your call. Send me pics like this one below and what wedge of the wheel you think she is violating? I can think of another one just from this posting on Facebook alone, but I have had my fun tonight. YOUR TURN!!!!

WARNING!!!!!!

WARNING!!!!
I must warn all who come to this blog about clicking any links I provide. Unless I state this is a safe website you should take precautions in visiting any site listed as an MRA/FR site. To do so one could open up oneself to being stalked, hunted down, victimized, and even in worst case scenario - assaulted in real life or even killed. The men (and sometimes women) who post on the MRA/FR sites can be dangerous. One nly needs to read the venom spewing from their moouth to see evidence of that. I also post this due to the recent blogs and forums I have discovered over the last few weeks. These will slowly be added to the Cult Wall Of Shame. Please take adequate precaution when visiting these sites.

Fair Use Doctrine

Section 107 of the Copyright Act, entitled, "Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use," is the statutory codification of the fair use doctrine. This judicially developed concept strives to balance the public's need to know and be informed against authors' incentives to create. The copyright law contemplates that fair use of a copyrighted work without permission shall be for purposes such as (1) criticism and comment, (2) parody and satire, (3) scholarship and research, (4) news reporting and (5) teaching, and that such fair use will not result in the infringement of a copyrighted work. As one may expect, authors and publishers usually take a restrictive view of the fair use doctrine, while users of copyrighted materials generally take a more expansive view.

Thank you too!!!!

I am now friends on a message board with a wonderful man. And you all thought we hated men :-) We despise abusive controlling men and women. We like men and women who are decent, honest, and caring. I will say no more as I do not want to ruin this. But those who fight this same fight, keep going!!! We are being seen and our message is getting out there.

Thank you. And thank you for the important work that you do. It gets my dander stirred up when little men hide behind a pen or a computer and spew out fear, hate and stuff that they think makes them look like "real men" but in fact exposes them for the big bullies that they really are. My father and mother are both deceased. But my dad treated my mother the way every man should treat his wife. She was the Queen in our home and he doted on her like she was still his sweetheart until the day she died at age 84. Abraham Lincoln once said, "The greatest gift a father can give to his children is to love their mother." So many men are unhappy with their own lives and they blame women. That way they don't have to accept responsibility for their own shortcomings. Sad. Pathetic. Again, thank you for your very good and important work.

And thank you for giving us hope as well - the hope that there are good and decent people out there - both men and women.

My blog, My rules.....

I would like to welcome everyone who has arrived here - no matter the road you traveled. I only have some very simple rules. Please try to keep your comments clean (I am a mom and as such I do not like extreme vulgar language). I despise the "c" word so it will never be published. Otherwise I will be very lax as I want this site to be a release to those of you who have an issue with the MRAs in general and Sacks and his followers in particular.

I must also slide this little disclaimer in here too (just to protect myself from those pesky little creatures called lawyers and those MRAs who would think they will file a lawsuit or something silly like that against me). I am using YOUR WORDS on this site as well as publishing my opinion of those words. Nothing more, nothing less. I am "not" responsible for comments made by others on my site and if MRAs can behave then they might very well be allowed to post here. Like I said, this is intended to be a release for the women who have been attacked on various sites online to have a little comic break from these constant attacks.

I am posting this blog and all of my comments as a naturally born citizen of the United States and am exercising my right to free speech.

I must also caution my followers and posters against posting any identifying information. This is for your own safety, as I foresee this blog quickly becoming a very hated tool against MRAs who abuse and those who assist them. I mus also make one additional rule concerning posting other people's (such as our exes) personal information. I have been through a very nasty divorce and I know how our exes can react. As such I must make it a number one rule, as much pleasure it would give us, against posting any information which could identify our exes. First names (or initials if the name is uncommon) is fine but no last names. This will be enforced on this blog, unlike "other blogs."
