Coercive control con job

By Bettina Arndt - posted Friday, 17 March 2023


Funnily enough that same week a story broke about a former Tasmanian Beauty Queen, Labor MP Kathryn Hay who appeared in court charged with 46 offences of extreme abuse and coercive control of her male partner over the course of a decade, including cutting him off from his family and telling him he was 'worthless and useless.'

And read this sensational headline last month from the Dailymail.co.uk: "Female prison reform boss is jailed for 'worst case of coercive behaviour' judge had ever seen: Senior manager subjected husband to 15 years of daily wine-fuelled beatings, verbal humiliation and even made him clean up her faeces." The female perpetrator was jailed for four years.

That's the feminists' weak spot. Everyone knows women are past masters at emotional control as abundant academic research shows. See here, here, here, here, here. Even the Australian Bureau of Statistics concedes that men experience emotional abuse at the same rates as women.

The truth will out. The fascinating recent development in NSW was that after Speakman pushed his laws through parliament, he then hit the pause button after women's groups spoke out warning of possible "misidentification problems" unless police and the judiciary are properly indoctrinated. And that's precisely what's happening now in Queensland and NSW – they are rolling out endless programs and procedures to train police and judicial officers, installing DV officers in police stations and indoctrinating the judiciary.

Clearly there is considerable nervousness that their scheme will turn around to bite them, if male victims start coming forward and women end up being charged. So that's what we need to make happen. It's the key to forcing this whole ghastly plot to unravel.

I will be publishing a new blog very soon which will outline the MOS campaign. I hope you will all come on board.
