Accomplished Advocate
Just goes to show how strong the whacked-out victim-mode feminist lobby is. Protective orders are almost all granted to women against men, the men are deprived of their ability to defend themselves, and now the women can carry concealed. They're going to get SOME man back for what some man did to traumatize them as children. No question that child abuse and spousal abuse are bad, and what people do in that regard is evil. But what's going on here is that a significant minority of the population is psychologically damaged, very highly focussed, politically active, determined, and persistent. They can't let go, they can't do love and forgiveness, so they live in a hell of their own making, a sort of recursive hate machine. "People who are abused as children grow up to be abusers." is a truism among the social workers, and it makes perfect sense. Those people have internalized a worldview that depersonalizes their victims. I know where this is heading, y'all - more work for lawyers.
