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.

I have never pretended to be anything but insane. Does that make me a risk to children though... No.

I hate all this intolerance though. I meet similarly insane people in life and am very happy in their company. I cannot understand why some people need everyone else to conform.

You may want to broaden your social circle love Hmm

Oh my blaming feminists and/or women for a high suicide rate amongst men.

It is without doubt a man's world Tom, the men in my life agree wholeheartedly that it is because they are capable of looking and judging their own sex objectively.

The facts are clear, men are more violent the recent high profile case of Oscar Pistorious is just one example.

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:54

There are different levels of insane. I once new a guy that was convinced he was Bungle from Rainbow. He was bloody brilliant with children.

However you, given your skewed views of women, the justice system, likability of men who promote incest, not paying for your children you are very dangerous around children.

Tom you have shown you are willing to harm your children to spite your ex. You are precisely the type of man who shouldn't have unsupervised access.

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 21:56

Why. I am very happy. I dated a woman who was bi-polar last summer and she had a fantastic mind just sadly the bad moods were difficult to live with. I am now seeing a single mother who is totally nuts (not sure what the DSM prognosis is yet) but she is again so much fun to be around.

Being crazy is not always so terrible

MrSheen · 17/09/2014 21:58

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

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

Which is it? You can't have it both ways. You either refuse both child support payments and you don't see them (you said you'd refused supervised contact so I assume you have no contact) or you a 'good father' who isn't financially abusive.

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 21:58

It is if it means they date you Grin

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 21:58

Emotions, Oscar was a violent and short tempered man who was obsessive. Please do not label a whole gender as a risk to women just because he behaved liked that.

I have not had a fight in 30 years. I have never needed to be violent.

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 17/09/2014 22:00

Being crazy is not terrible. Being an arsehole who willingly lets his children go without essentials is really terrible. Seriously Tom, you're creepy and you don't provide for your children. You are about as terrible as it gets.

gordyslovesheep · 17/09/2014 22:01

glad you are spending all the money you are robbing from your kids not paying your ex to have fun Tom

Your kids will grow up and make their own minds up - I don't hold out much hope of a happy reunion

Mental health alone is not a reason not to be a parent - but refusing to abide by what's best for your kids due to behaving like a stroppy teen is a fairly good indication that you may not be a healthy influence

you where not denied access - you just didn't get the access you wanted

MrSheen · 17/09/2014 22:01

Being crazy is not always so terrible

The complete inability to see your children as people who need to be fed and housed by their parents isn't just a bit delightfully kooky. It's the kind of insanity particular to family annihilators.

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 22:03

Society and you people need to be more tolerant of mental health disorders and personality disorders. Very few people actually pose a risk to anyone but themselves. I get tired with the amount of times that people recognise abnormal behaviour and then try to link it with psychopathic tendencies.

The world is a lot safer place than you people would have us believe and the vast majority of men are good and safe to be around.

Hate speech against males is up there with racially motivated hate speech

AnyFucker · 17/09/2014 22:04

"I have never needed to be violent"

I'll bet you haven't. There are other ways to indulge your hatred of women.

gordyslovesheep · 17/09/2014 22:07

Tom you are talking rubbish

ApocalypseThen · 17/09/2014 22:08

Is Tom the not LSE fella who sued feminazis for having padded bums?

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 17/09/2014 22:08

Tom - no one on this thread has mentioned psychopathic tendencies. Why do you bring it up? Is that your diagnosis?

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 22:09

Ring the other one Tom it's got bells on it.

I recognize most of the posters on this thread and they are very VERY supportive of those with mental health and I am proud that you have put me in their group of YOU people (never been in a gang before well chuffed).
However your brand of bonkers is not something that can be supported by anyone unwilling to buy in to your women hating, incestuous, not paying for his kids, fucked up and delusional world that you appear to live in.

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 22:09

OH AF stop with the hate speech. I love women. I just dislike the male hate speech that passes off here unchallenged

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 17/09/2014 22:10

Apocalypse I suspect he is. Curse that LSE and their pesky sexist chairs.;

emotionsecho · 17/09/2014 22:11

The vast majority of lawmakers are male, more male Judges, male solocitors advise women re divorce, custody, finance - perhaps you need to impart your wisdom to them.

FlossyMoo · 17/09/2014 22:13

Who has given a male hate speech?

I love men. I love DH, my sons, my dad, my brother, my 2 BIL, my best friend and I even loved a few man before I loved DH! What I dislike is men that believe women are below them and treat them like rubbish. What I dislike is men who do not provide for their children financially or emotionally. I love more men than I hate so on balance I am a man lover not a hater.

TomLondon · 17/09/2014 22:14

Men but they have all been taken in and duped by the matriarchy. Feminazis are everywhere!

basgetti · 17/09/2014 22:14

Tom I very much doubt that the courts just stopped contact on your Ex's say so. Did you by any chance decide to try and 'educate' the judge with some of your views?
