As if the cold blooded murder of the Hortmans wasn’t fucking evil enough the fucking asshole shot their dog, too.

“The bullets didn’t only silence Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark—they took their gentle Golden Retriever, Gilbert, too. The couple spent weekends helping train service dogs for vets who needed a steady paw to lean on.
This was cruelty, pure and simple—aimed at people whose life’s work was giving wounded veterans a reason to smile again.” - Brent Molnar

‘They were justifying his actions’: what women say about men’s behaviour change programs

Thousands of men who use violence are referred every year to men’s behaviour change programs. Sometimes this attendance is ordered by a court, other times it is voluntary. The hope is this will result in program attendance (although that is not always guaranteed), promote perpetrator accountability and, ultimately, increase the safety of women and children.

Unfortunately, program attendance is low and while researchers have tried again and again to answer the question of whether these programs work, it is still not clear.

Referrals have continued anyway, so my colleagues and I decided to ask a new question. We invited nine Victorian women to talk in-depth about their experience of their partner being referred to a men’s behaviour change program.

‘They were justifying his actions’: what women say about men’s behaviour change programs

Unfortunately, program attendance is low and while researchers have tried again and again to answer the question of whether these programs work, it is still not clear.

We wanted to know: what was that like for these women? What meaning did they make of it?...

Janet said: When we were together and I used to say, “We need to go and get help; we need to go and talk to someone”, he would say, “No.” He would yell in my face and tell me to “eff off” and “mind my own business” and that he didn’t have a problem; I was the problem...

Many of the men resisted the suggestion they were “perpetrators” who needed to change. Some men contrasted themselves with others in the men’s behaviour change programs.

As Erin put it: There’s always someone worse, and that’s how they are justifying themselves.

Other men reportedly gained support for their behaviour from men in the program. Paige said: He would come home and tell me that the group agreed with him that the kids were at fault. That if the kids wouldn’t do what they did, then he wouldn’t lose his temper and he wouldn’t have to hit ’em […] So it was like they were justifying his actions...

In the end, encouraging women to simply respond with indignation is not the answer. This would just continue the age-old practice of placing sole responsibility on women for the violence they face.

One woman told the researchers: ‘He would come home and tell me that the group agreed with him.’

holy crap, fedi! it's ƎNA from the hit webseries ENA (2020–present), created by Peruvian artist Joel Guerra, known online as Joel G.!

poorly drawn lynne bun depicted in family guy's art style. she's standing in the family guy living room. the front door is open, and a traced drawing of ena is here. ena's face has been modified to be more "family guyesque": she has an underbite and the famous bored with eyes half closed expression. the background painting that's normally in the room has been replaced with a traced meme: homophobic dog captioned with "okay froot loops".
