Discussion
Other Notes:
i.e. – the 2009 Stimulus bill | No similar provisions (or any provisions at all) exist that specifically single out men as the primary beneficiaries of funding| This clearly establishes a mandate for the entire legal system to treat domestic violence as a crime committed by men against women | Detailed breakdown of sexism in VAWA can be found here: http://breakingtheglasses.blogspot.com/2013/01/vawa-is-not-like-that.html
