This example readily shows the depth of System discrimination against males even when they are
abused children. We help men, their families, and the women that love them.

AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
 

**This is the most comprehensive and authoritative study and statistics of Domestic Violence.

Martin S. Fiebert, Department of Psychology, California State University, Long Beach

SUMMARY:  This bibliography examines 271 scholarly investigations: 211 empirical studies and 60 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners.  The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 365,000

Woods et. al. v Shewry et.al. - Opening _Brief_Final_Version (PDF)

This is the landmark case that helped end discrimination against male victims of domestic violence and by law forced domestic violence shelters to provide "equal treatment" to Men, Women and Children.

**Mr. Woods was a Sacramento resident during his lawsuit against local Domestic Violence shelters.

"Many men are similarly situated with women as victims of domestic violence. And many children who witness their fathers being victimized by domestic violence are similarly situated with children who witness their mothers being victimized by domestic violence. Many men are also similarly situated with women as incarcerated caretaker parents. In any event, no matter what the percentages and statistics are, these men, as individuals, are entitled to equal protection." (Page 22) More>> PDF
