About this listen

 Edward Bartlett, the president of DAVIA, joins us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges conventional wisdom on domestic violence. We scrutinize the gender-neutral mission of his organization and question prevailing stereotypes that paint men as the primary aggressors. Through our exploration, we examine how feminist rhetoric might have inadvertently encouraged violence against men, and we trace the roots of these narratives back to influential legislation like the 1994 Violence Against Women Act.

Our discussion takes a deeper dive into the effects of feminist and Marxist ideologies on society, particularly concerning traditional family structures and the mental health crisis among young white females. Alarmingly, 56% of this demographic has been diagnosed with mental health conditions, prompting us to examine the narratives they are faced with. We redefine feminism as embracing one's identity while distinguishing between equal rights and uniform outcomes. Contrary to popular belief, CDC data reveals the significant number of male victims of domestic violence, urging listeners to reconsider commonly held misconceptions.

Finally, we explore the global impact of Marxist ideology and how it's influenced gender politics and cultural norms. While examining the polarizing effects of labeling, we express optimism for movements in the US aimed at combating discriminatory practices. In partnership with the International Council for Men and Boys, DAVIA is at the forefront of raising awareness on these issues, and we encourage our listeners to support these vital causes through resources like www.menandboys.net
