Let’s just call it what it is, shall we?

If guys want access to shelters, build your own. Don't come beating on the door of a woman's shelter made by and for women. We had to do it on our own, why do you expect us to do it for you?

My favorite part about this was that you knew you were being a jackass, so you said it on anon.

[sailorsoldiersofjustice]

A guy did build a shelter. He was harrassed by feminist groups, denied funding, had to shut down the shelter and committed suicide. So please, don’t give that tired excuse. Men need a place to go when they are abused or in need of help, and gender activists are actively fighting that. They can’t just “make their own” because of that. That’s why they often go to women’s shelters: to get help they desperately need. Not to invade women’s spaces. ~Neptune

Wait what? That’s horrible. When did this happen?

I love how Anon is like “we had to do it on our own”, it’s like no, no you didn’t. Because the government fucking funded it. Earl Silverman TRIED to do it your way and get government backing but they wouldn’t budge a finger, so he actually ran it out of his own home for over a decade I believe, and because no government funding would be allowed for him, he ended up going bankrupt, had to shut it down, and committed suicide to make a statement about the dire situation that no one cares about men when it comes to DV. And he was damn right because barely anyone covered his suicide despite his leaving a note detailing why he felt his death would be the only way of making a loud enough statement. So no you didn’t build your damn own and your whole response was made to delegitimize this for men.

See also: Erin Patria Margaret Pizzey. Founder of the first shelters for battered women. After observing the women in her shelters, she came to the conclusion that a large fraction of domestic violence was reciprocal or even female-perpetrated, and that women were just as capable of violence as men. She suggested that a similar shelter for battered men be created. Groups calling themselves Feminist responded to this by killing her dog and threatening the lives of her and her children until she fled the country.

Refuses to be identified as a Feminist despite having done more to actually help women than any leader of the movement I can name, because “having experienced my mother’s violence, I always knew that women can be as vicious and irresponsible as men.” Currently a leading voice in the Men’s Rights movement, and continues to work for the benefit of victims of domestic violence regardless of their gender, race, or creed. Continues to receive death threats for this from feminists.

So yeah, when a woman makes a shelter for women it receives government funding and public goodwill, when that same exact woman makes an identical shelter for men she is hunted by “feminist” killers for decades. And you continue to wonder why those lazy menfolk are still claiming to have problems and how some people could possibly dislike the term “feminist”.

This deserves a million fucking reblogs.

People are quick to assume men can go to all of these shelters regardless, but when most men call hotlines they are referred to resources that help abusers, not those abused.  When a man shows up to a shelter, he’s seen as a predator and a threat, and he and his children are turned away.  Very few organizations take such people seriously, even though a roughly equal share of victims of domestic abuse are male.  What implications does this have for the children of abused men?  What does it say about the abuse they are then forced to face, because the world won’t listen to their father and help?

Silverman did everything in his power and even more in death.  The claim that feminism is for everyone means nothing, because the laws they push through (VAWA anybody?) and the policies they enforce by political action are all stacking the cards against the good men out there.  Marriage no longer looks appealing because you could face a situation where you have to choose between seeing your kids and being free of abuse.  Because of predominant aggressor policies (the Duluth model) as a man I can guarantee that most partners I spend time with can accuse me of violence and abuse and nothing more than their word can get me incarcerated.  When it comes to families, this hurts kids more than anything.  Spending time in lockup isn’t the thing that sucks, it’s leaving your kids behind with their incredibly abusive mother.  We don’t take abusive women seriously in our culture, so nobody cares.  It’s wrong.  It has to change.

Well, since October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I might as well bring this back.

“Red Rädd Alone” - Acrylics on plywood canvas

Today’s painting ended up quite experimental… I can’t decide what I feel about it personally, not bad, but not among my best?

I made two new paintings today!

Started the day with the one that ended up looking as a bird, then I wanted to use more warm colors, resulting in the second painting. I think the second might be my best one so far!

What do you see?

[taimasart]

Acrylics on plywood canvas… There’s countless of layers and I wish I had pictures of all the shapes this painting went through before becoming what it is.

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists:
