Forget about damage to rugby league – what about damage to women?

[Spud_Murphy]

45.

That is the number of women in Australia who have been killed by men in domestic violence situations this year. In just this year.

19 children too.

I understand a woman retracting her statement, there are many who rightfully so fear for their lives and figure pressing charges is signing their own death warrant. I don't know Mrs W, or Dylan W, so I don't know the extent of the issue in their lives, But I strongly believe in the one strike and you're out rule. Imagine if that was your daughter, or sister, or mother.

I don't mean to be getting preachy, but it's a sensitive topic.

But should the one strike and you are out work both ways? I realise there may be zero deaths of males by females but the same intent of injury could still be there. I make it a habit of marrying feisty women (or I drive that that way) and they assault me and it doesn't worry me at all - love is love both ways. Gee they would consider me a pansy if I was to report it. If I was to retaliate I would probably be reported . I have been chased with knives a few times and I get revenge by bringing it up in speeches at anniversary times - then I get assaulted again.

You really don't get it do you? Or more likely, you just don't want to get it.

I think that is often the problem. She has an emotional connection so tries to 'protect' him from the consequences. I believe it happens time and again in abusive relationships. But by protecting him, she is accepting his behaviour. She is the one in need of protection.

Probably also scared of change and financial burden.

If she goes through with the complaint then Dylan's career is essentially over. Let's say she withdraws the complaint and leaves him in 6 months. Dylan continues to play football, is able to pay child support whilst she keeps herself and the kid out of the public eye. Seems like a scenario where everybody wins.

Reasoned post MM, no one knows what the dynamic of their relationship is like though. He might a complete menace to her behind closed doors where everything she does that he doesn't like might set him off, or he might be one of those people who cannot control their emotions and get aggressive when under the slightest bit of emotional stress.

She might be happy to let Walker get off so he can continue his footy career and provide well for their child and she might quietly leave him, she might also be deathly afraid of what might happen if she does leave him.

The other thing is that it may be out of her control now, there were witnesses and if they go on to give evidence against him, he is probably cooked anyway.

This is the biggest issue, many women in these types of relationships have no immediate place of refuge when things like this happen, some have support through family and friends, but others just don't. The fear of winding up in poverty or homeless is a very real thing for them and their children, hence why they stay. And the men know that and use it to control them.

And that is despicable.

Or in my niece's case , his "Cop" mates ring her up and tell her how easy it would for her or her 3 kids to go missing

It's scary , he fears nothing …..........

That is the point I was making Hap. She may have withdrawn it as she wants him to keep his career so she can take his testicles through his wallet, or equally as likely she might actually be worried what he might do to her if she does leave. Without knowing what their relationship is like you can only speculate. There's many reasons why she would retract her statement.

You really don't get it do you? Or more likely, you just don't want to get it.

If we were serious about changing behaviour no matter what, dangerous driving or assault, then you have to ban grog. I read years ago that about 80% of crime is committed when a person is effected by liquor. Come 2019 I have not had grog for forty years. I am doing my part. I have mates who can't handle their liquor but they still get served and have further trouble so who really cares? They have their pint of courage as we used to call it in the old days.

So you're one of the 20% that shoots at the homeless and beats their wife sober?

Listen mate, there is nothing like when restraining the missus also attempting to seduce them - they cannot believe it and sometimes will "melt" and we both yell out laughing and gang ho. My previous women say that after me every other guy is boring. That is where you get it.

Pretty sure you should stop now.

I've defended you in the past, but this is disgusting.

I’m finding it difficult to comprehend that mods jump on top of a couple of blokes having a slanging match but this vitriol is acceptable. I find the current posts by BBF some of the worst I have ever read. They are offensive in the least. His last comment is suggesting physical intimidation as a means to having your way with women. More disrespectful posts I’ve never read. Sorry but it needed to be said.

Gee you guys get simple things wrong. I get attacked by the beautiful wives whom I love then whilst restraining them I also try to seduce them in a non violent manner and sometimes it works. That is how you smell the roses.

I've worked with with male domestic violence victims. No-one considered them a "pansy". We reserved our judgement for the perpetrators.

(that said, in my experience **the culprit is about 250x more likely to be a man**)

This doesn't square with the stats. Around 40% of the victims of violence from their current partner were males, the majority of which were perpetrated by females (94%).

Around 35% of domestic homicide victims were male; while 21% of intimate partner homicide victims were male.

The perpetrators of domestic violence are certainly more likely to be men - but 250x is an exaggeration.

Pull your head in. This has nothing to do with you and your nonsense. Your contributions are disrespectful to victims, irrespective of their gender.

I know. A real piece of work.

While this is a terrible topic - violence against women, or men for that matter, ANY DV…I cant help feel we exxagerate the fact its a RL problem where its really a societal problem.

 

[innsaneink]

My god!
We need to love, cherish and respect our women, they do so much for us…I just stumble on another tragic story today...so sad...

A community devastated by a case of domestic violence which saw two children shot dead by their father in Sydney's Hills district has been rocked again by the death of the children's mother.

Jack Edwards, 15, and Jennifer Edwards, 13, were killed at their West Pennant Hills home in July in what police described as a "planned attack" by their father John in early July.

Their mother, Olga Edwards, returned to the home shortly after police arrived.

"The body of a 37-year-old woman was located deceased," police said in a statement.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner."..............................
