@hellknightbaelluciferā just shoot me.
In 2003, the PSOE was in charge, and they approved a new law, called Integrated Protection Measures against Gender Violence (acronym LIGV), the 28 of December, with many opposition, and many complains about it being unconstitutional.Ā
What this law does? Well it does a lot of things.
The law establishes a difference between domestic violence and āgender violenceā. Ā While the first is violence that happens in the domestic area, the second is violence done because of sexism. BUT, here lies the problem: āgender violenceā can only be done by men, and itās considered the default type of violence for men. That is, if a woman attacks a man, itās considered domestic violence, even if she did it because she hates men; but if a man attacks a woman, itās considered āgender violenceā, no matter what reason may be behind the attack. It doesnāt matter if he did it for money, jealousy, infidelity, vengeance, mental problems, or even self-defense. To the LIGV, every act of violence from a man to a woman can only mean he is a sexist, and attacked her because she is a woman. And of course, the punishment for gender violence is higher than for domestic violence. This is especially funny in a country where women are going to be released from jail just because they are women.
This, of course, creates a lie that feeds itself. If you look at the official data at the end of the year, the numbers for āgender violenceā will be very high, since every single thing a man has done to a woman through the year is considered to be done because of sexism. This is used by feminists to claim the law is necessary, and even has to be strengthened, because of the high numbers (like this year, when the political party āLeft Unitedā proposed that men should not have presumption of innocence if accused by a woman; Ā or the Baleares islands, where not paying alimony will be considered āgender violenceā). Of course, they ignore the fact that Spain is the country with fewer murders of women, and violence towards women, in all Europe.
Ranking of women murdered per million (2006)
This table shows the results of a poll. The top row shows the % of women who said to have suffered gender violence. The bottom one shows how much % thinks gender violence is a widespread problem. Which shows that spanish women think the problem is much bigger than it really is.
Another thing the law does is to give huge power to women over men, while striping men of their rights.
For example, if a call is made to denounce domestic violence, the man is automatically put in jail as a preemptive measure for up to 3 days. Thereās no need for any proof or process. Just any accusation from any woman is enough for this. And it doesnāt matter how many times she has done it, the man will be thrown in jail again and again. This of course is used by malicious women to make the life of men impossible, or make them lose their jobs.
Also, in a domestic violence call, by law, the default culprit is the man. So, even if he is the one calling, and heās the one with violence marks, he will be the one thrown in prison. And a restriction order can be placed on him, so he canāt go back to his own home if the woman is still there.
If a man receives a gender violence accusation, he will lose custody of his children, and if heās in a divorce process, he will most probably lose everything.
Since the law started, judges in Spain have had pressure on them to put in jail as much men as possible, which transforms many cases in jokes where the man is condemned with just the word of the woman and no other evidence or even evidence to the contrary. But even if you are found innocent, youāll still be placed in the sex offender list, as you are legally guilty from the moment the woman makes the accusation. There have been very absurd cases, like a man who was condemned for āgender violenceā because he farted in front of his wife.
Women also get special benefits, as they are considered āvictimsā from the moment they make the accusation. Depending on the province, they have cheaper prices to rent a flat, or they are directly given one for free. In some places they have to pay nothing to join university if they have made an accusation.
Also, ilegal inmigrant women who make a gender violence accusation are given the papers to become legal inmigrants.
Women also have all the expenses of the trial paid by the state. They have to pay nothing for accusing a man.
I donāt think I have to say that everything listed here goes against the presumption of innocence, the principle of equal punishment for same crime, and is highly unconstitutional. Thus why there has been dozens of attempts to take it down, and even the European council has said it goes against the constitution and the human rights of men. There are a lot of men unjustly affected by this law, who had their lives completely destroyed. Long judicial procedures; imprisonment with no evidence every time the woman want; Ā loss of their house, loss of their job; loss of their children; unable to get a new job; many of them suicide, but even if they donāt, they are marked for life. A rape accusation is something that chases you forever in Spain, no matter how many evidence of your innocence you have.
There was a famous case last year. A girl had sex with several boys in a fair, and later on she accused them of raping her. During the trial, many bystanders testified that the sex was consensual, because they had sex at plain sight of the fair, and dozens of people watched them. There was also a recorded video of the event, which showed a consensual act. And finally, the girl herself confessed that everything was a lie.
It looks like a pretty clear case, right? Well not for Spain. When the guys got free, a chance.org petition was opened to get signatures to force the tribunal to reopen the case, arguing that it was 100% sure they were rapists, because the girl said so, even if all the evidence, including a confession, pointed otherwise. The campaign got 8.000 signatures in a day. Thatās how brainwashed we are, so you can imagine what a falsely accused man can expect around here.
12 years have passed since the law was created, and we are witnessing its effects. For example, suicide rates among men have increased a lot since the law was approved. Right now suicide is the lead cause for death of men in the country, and 70% of the suicides have been produced by abusive processes of Gender violence.
Blue are men suicides and red women suicides till 2013. In 2015 we already reached about 3.500.
So, how itās possible that the law has lasted so long (and seems it will last a lot more, since a recent attempt by a political party to fix the law has been meet with amazing opposition and propaganda), if it has served no purpose and has only caused problems and injustice? Why is there an interest in maintaining it?
Because the law has created a whole industry around it, of which feminists depend more, since they receive money from the European union depending on how many accusations are made though the year, so they try to create as many as possible, no matter if they are false. In some cases, even the teams in charge of the investigations make false reports to increase the numbers of convicted men.
Feminist groups in Spain receive more than 2 million euro each year to āfight gender violenceā, of which less than 5% are destined to victims. Many of those feminists live of doing absolutely nothing, just receiving money from the state and justifying it with feminist meet ups now and then. Feminists are very interested in the existence of the law, to make profit of it, and because it helps women to easily get custody. Ā Lawyers in Spain usually recommend women to make a Gender violence accusation in divorce cases so they have an easy win. And feminists create alarmist campaigns to encourage accusations for the most minimal infractions of behavior. Even the most normal attitudes inside a couple are considered abuse if the man does them, but not if is the women who does. Campaigns warn about the āabuseā of a boyfriend who looks at your phone, or tells you he doesnāt like a friend of yours, but totally ignore when the girlfriend does it. Just a few days ago, in Valentine, the police department made a tweet with an innocent comment: āA āstolenā kiss is not a crime, enjoy Valentineā. Hordes of feminists attacked the police, accusing them of promoting sexual abuse and even rape, and encouraging women to denounce if someone, no matter if itās their current partner, kiss them by surprise. Note here that the tweet was neutral, yet all the outrage was about men kissing women.
In 2015, the police also released a tweet in which they encouraged both women and men to denounce abuse from their partners. Again, hordes of feminists attacked them, asking the police to NOT encourage man to denounce their abusers, in what was a very clear show of what feminism is about in Spain.
