This misses the point, which is that it is unjust to punish one man for the crime of another. It's a sexist stereotype that men are aggressors in domestic situations. It may be in general true, but its still a stereotype - like "women are weak" or "women tend to leave the workforce in mid-career". It is unjust to base laws on sexist stereotypes.

The problem is that some folks automatically think that VAWA has something to do with preventing domestic violence. It never has and never will.

It's not about domestic violence - it's about creating an industry to support radical fems.
