Wisconsin Lawmaker Thinks Women Are Better Off Beaten Than Divorced


I’ve had people tell me that using the phrase “war on women” is an exaggeration. After all, they argue, women aren’t in any sort of physical danger. Yes, politicians may be trying to force them into a role — the mother, the wife, the stay at home caregiver — that they may not entirely want, but no one is trying to literally hurt them.

Wrong.

Meet Wisconsin Rep. Don Pridemore. He’s best known for his avid support of Wisconsin’s puppy mills, but he is the co-sponsor of the bill that declares single mothers are a cause of child abuse. Pridemore apparently is positioning himself as an expert on abuse, since he also has some very helpful advice for women who are victims of domestic violence. Don't leave
him, just try to remember what you loved about him in the first place.



“Representative Don Pridemore, told TODAY’S TMJ4 he thinks even in abusive relationships, there are other options than divorce. ‘If they can refind those reasons and get back to why they got married in the first place it might help,’ said Representative Don Pridemore.” And
without even a trace of irony, he also claims that the reason women can’t single parent — one of the reasons he supports the bill — is because children will “go astray” since the father is usually the “disciplinarian.


So to clarify, single parent homes run by mothers cause child abuse, but if there is spousal abuse in a two parent home the wife should stay with her husband, especially since he is needed because he is obviously the disciplinarian. Let him beat you, let him beat your children, whatever it goes on in a house is just fine as long as you stay married. Yes, there really is a war on women

1. I'm always amazed that women will marry these guys.

There ought to be a class in highschool about how to identify
an abusive male.

Then, we need a college level class on how to identify a Repug and not vote for them.

For some reason these people are misled and they are attracted by abusers.

I can only look foreward to the 2012 elections.

2. you also have to think about what sort of homes they come from, and what churches they may

have attended--you know the ones "wives shall be submissive to their husbands" and other assorted bs.

dealing with abuse isn't all that easy--not to mention that women are often killed after they leave the abuser. this country does not do a good job of dealing with the serious issues involved in domestic violence, and cretins like this jerk don't help the situation any.

3. One has to ponder whether Don beats his wife and children

as long as he is such an expert
