Without wanting to jump on the anti-Harriet bandwagon quite yet - the week is still young, I think it is important to dwell on the issue raised in the Daily Mail today (an amazing 160 comments in the debate section) where they revealed that the Government has declared that as part of Violence Against Women strategy pupils as young as five will be taught about the evils of 'wife beating'. This is to form part of the national curriculum and as the article says, there will be nothing on violence against men.
The article is balanced and points out the fact that more and more women are being arrested for violence which is in addition to the point raised earlier this week that more mothers are violent towards their daughter than men are.
One of the issues worth raising is the fact that its underlying theme of telling boys and girls that all boys are violent towards women, the height of Marxist Feminist thinking, will give all boys a guilt complex - "Mummy, my teacher says I will be a wife beater when I grow up". How will any women form a relationship with a man if she thinks we are all wifebeaters. It is straight out of George Orwell and is designed to further psychologically undermine boys and men.
The other issue is that when 40% of victims of domestic abuse aremale, those men of the future as well as those suffering now, are purposely and hideously ignored by the Government. It is almost as if they do not exist.
Any course telling people, and certainly it is inappropriate for children to be indoctrinated at such an early age, should be saying that all violence is wrong but also any violence by a woman on a man is as equally as wrong as the other way around.
To only state one gender is completely factually wrong and is biased and shows clearly the anti-male, one-eyed nature of this Government and Harriet Harman. She really does want to grind men into the dust, from the age of 5.
I notcied even an bc article somewhat critical of Harman today. I think that proves just how badly she has messed up this time and she's clearly oversteped the mark in terms of blatant misandry to such a great extent even people at the bbc have noticed.

You really need to get her out of office.
