To be really annoyed with the debate today on Loose Women?

Firstly, let me say, I do NOT watch this shite usually, I flicked it on as background noise this afternoon but was caught by the debate they were having, namely Domestic Abuse.

The whole debate was centred around the basis of the woman being the victim and the man, the perpetrator. They had a guest speaker on, I think she was affiliated with the refuge system in some way, very anti-men, and brought up these statistics about 95% of perpetrators being male etc.

This makes me so angry. The only reason the statistic is so unbalanced is because men don't come forward as often as women probably do.

I am aware of womens refuge's, but are there any for men?

I think far too much emphasis is placed on the male in these cases and is much too overlooked Angry

Just my opinion, rant over.

Bake off init!

Emotions you are right. It is a mans world. That would be why suicide rates are so high amongst adult men.

Whiskwarrior · 17/09/2014 21:21

Tom, to put it bluntly - you're fucking INSANE!

Your posts are bonkers. And you still haven't answered anyone:

What was the reason given for no contact?

We're all dying to know!

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:22

Tom

I will just summaries for you:

You belive murders happen to promote feminists.
You idolize a man who openly says incest is a good thing.
He also states that no means yes when it comes to a women refusing sex (Robin Thicke's long lost brother maybe?)
You pay nothing towards the upbringing of your children preferring instead to see them go without due to some misplaced injustice.

And you wonder why the courts said no.
Gee let me think......Yep the courts were in fact CORRECT to deny you access to young and impressionable minds.

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 21:27

Flossy that has to be one of the worst summing ups I have ever seen. Almost up there with the legal profession in terms of how you have managed to twist words.

MrSheen · 17/09/2014 21:28

It's blindingly obvious that sometimes one persons human rights to be a bell end will contradict another persons human rights to not have to tolerate a bell end so a decision has to be made, otherwise you end up like the North gong Zax and the South going Zax.

The human rights of children to not be abused are generally prioritised over the human rights of fathers to abuse them. That's just life and you have to get used to it, or not be an abusive arsehole.

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:30

OK well you give me a summary based on your posts on this thread.

AF can I keep Tom as a pet please?

AnyFucker · 17/09/2014 21:32

Course you can, Flossy

Just wheel him out when you need some comedic after dinner entertainment

he could conveniently fit in your back pocket, because I think he is a Very Small Man

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:33

Yayyyy

Ok well based on my knowledge of snakes he has been fed loads today so I won't feed him for another 2 weeks Grin

Pepperwitheverything · 17/09/2014 21:37

No way is this Tom fella real. It's some kid on a wind up.....I hope!!!!

AnyFucker · 17/09/2014 21:39

he has entertained me this evening . I was well overdue some argument-honing practice.

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:40

He is real he is now my pet snake called Tom. AF said I could keep him. With any luck he will shed his skin soon and become a new man cos the old ones getting tired and boring Grin

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 21:40

No allegations of abuse against the children. My ex even admits I am a good father.

The solicitors just encouraged her to make allegations that I am mentally ill. No mention that I was a threat to the children, just that I needed to be supervised, meaning no overnights and therefore no reduction in child support payments.

Sneaky legal profession told her she would be quids in if she stitched me up on overnight stays. So for the last 4 years I have made sure she got almost nothing. This whole practice of solicitors encouraging women to lie in order to extort more money needs to end.

I could be weak and just roll over but that would be cowardly.

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:43

Yep TomPet you are totally sane.

TheFairyCaravan · 17/09/2014 21:44

Crikey, I came on to post that I watched Loose Women today, (FTR it was deliberate) and yes the debate was centred around women being the main victims of DV, but Kaye Adams did keep mentioning that men are victims too. That we mustn't forget men can be victims as well as women, not in such great numbers, but victims all the same.

But now I've read the whole thread I don't know what to think! Where on earth has Tom been hiding? Is it a full moon or something? It's bloody weird!

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:45

So for the last 4 years I have made sure she got almost nothing

You typed that wrong. It should say:

So for the last 4 years I have made sure my children got almost nothing.

puntasticusername · 17/09/2014 21:45

No, mate, you haven't "made sure she's got almost nothing" from you. You've made sure your children have got almost nothing. Your CHILDREN. YOUR CHILDREN.

puntasticusername · 17/09/2014 21:46

Jinx Flossy Grin

basgetti · 17/09/2014 21:46

So for the last 4 years I have made sure she got almost nothing.

No, for the last 4 years you have made sure your children got almost nothing.

basgetti · 17/09/2014 21:47

X post!

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 17/09/2014 21:47

No Tom, for the last four years you've been depriving your children. What a guy!

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:47

Great minds punt & bas Grin

Caff2 · 17/09/2014 21:47

Um, Tom, has it ever occurred to you that you are not entirely blameless? And do you ever seek help ever?

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:47

Oh & Sas Grin

Caff2 · 17/09/2014 21:49

I think tom is actually mad, unfortunately.
