AWWW.......if there is any justice in the universe, all the gung ho know it all rednecks males who know more about solving domestic violence, through reading stats, will be reborn as Indian maidens on a reservation in Saskatchewan.
As far as stats go, there are more criminals than innocent persons in prison than the outside world. Oh and on the whole many more men than women. Goodness me, it seems to correct that situation we should get rid of jails and men.
It sure puts a very different perspective on some problems doesn't it. LOL.
I'm sure there is some general benefit to doing that, but unfortunately, you still have the booming provinces (namely Alberta and Saskatchewan) with much higher rates of sexual assault than ones like Ontario or Quebec. These latter provinces actually have rates lower than the national average.
Are you high or just completely ignore the factors on purpose?
Did you know a 2 point drop in unemployment equates to a 14% decrease in rapes? Of course you didn't.
I doubt anything that someone as sexually confused and disoriented as Kathleen Wynne comes up with will do any good or even be able to define the issue. There always been sexual victimization and violence.. but its not an epidemic, or any more prevalent than its ever been.
That contention is a pillar of the feminist movement's claim that men's brutality to women is systemic and generic to the male gender. Only a radical feminist lesbian would come up with that, attached to of course its other pillar, that of the inalieable right of women to slaughter their unborn children.

MR Wynne is not sexually confused. It knows it is a lesbian. But you are right of it not being likely to come up with anything important. There are much more important issues in Ontario to deal with than the perceived plague of sexual violence. It does tend to take people's minds off the real issues though.
She's quite adept in the arts of deflection and smoke'n' mirrors - and using
sexual preference as a disarming shield

New legislation aims to challenge social norms about sexual violence, Wynne says
TORONTO -- Sexual violence and harassment are "rooted in misogyny," Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said Friday as she unveiled a plan to fight such behaviours through legislation, increased funding and a provocative ad campaign.
The "It's Never Okay" plan includes new legislation and a public awareness campaign centred on an ad depicting assaults and harassment the premier described as uncomfortable to watch, but much harder to experience.
The ad shows a boy with an inebriated girl at a party, a man rubbing the shoulders of an obviously uncomfortable female co-worker, a student showing friends pictures of his girlfriend and a man at a bar slipping something in a woman's drink. In each of the situations they look directly at the camera and thank the viewer for not saying anything.
"When you do nothing you're helping him," the ad says. "But when you do something you help her."
The girls and women in the situations then turn to the camera and say thanks for speaking up.
"At its core this is a plan to change behaviours and challenge social norms," Wynne said.
"Sexual violence is rooted in misogyny, which is deeply ingrained in our culture, often in unconscious or subtle ways...These are learned behaviours, which means that they can be unlearned -- or better yet -- never learned in the first place."
The plan, which comes with a $41-million commitment over three years, tackles workplace harassment, the prosecution of sexual assault cases, a limitation period for civil sexual assault claims, victim support and assaults on campuses.
Wynne announced in December that such a plan would be accelerated after several women came forward to say they'd been harassed or sexually assaulted by former CBC radio host Jian Ghomeshi -- who has denied the allegations -- but never reported it. What was telling was the degree of disbelief toward such allegations in a number of high-profile cases at the time, Wynne said.
"So the fact that part of the public reaction was, 'This is unbelievable that it's taking place,' when we know -- and certainly every woman in this room knows -- that these are things that people deal with all the time, that compelled me to pull together...all of the initiatives."
The plan aims to "eliminate rape culture on campus," a move welcomed by student groups. Colleges and universities would be required by law to have a sexual assault policy and publicly report their statistics on sexual violence.
Nicole Desnoyers, women's commissioner for the Canadian Federation of Students' Ontario branch, said students are disproportionately affected by sexual violence.
"(There's) a concentration of young people who are not receiving education around consent, around what rape culture is, around how sexual violence in its many shapes and forms can be enacted on a day-to-day basis," she said. "We don't have that right now and so that's why I think that it gets concentrated on our campuses."
The plan also includes legislation, to be introduced in the fall, to eliminate a two-year limitation period for civil sexual assault claims and to strengthen workplace safety legislation. The Occupational Health and Safety Act would be amended to include a definition of sexual harassment and would require employers to investigate and address such incidents.
An "enhanced prosecution model" tailored to sexual assault cases is to include more training for Crown attorneys and police.
The government is also promising to boost funding for sexual assault support centres.
Progressive Conservative Laurie Scott, who pushed in December for the establishment of an all-party committee on sexual violence and harassment said she had hoped the issue could be tackled through non-partisan means, rather than Wynne's quickly unveiled plan, though she said she was glad the premier was addressing this issue.
The committee is expected to report at the end of 2015.
A permanent roundtable on violence against women will also be established, which will also include men.
"This cannot move forward without men," said Tracy MacCharles, the minister responsible for women's issues.
The New Democrats praised the plan but said they would be watching closely to make sure it comes with funding commitments, and that progress is regularly assessed and reported. Included in the plan is an update for Ontarians on the one-year anniversary.

Bullshyte, they are going to undo everything that's been accomplished if they keep trying to make this a "him vs her" debate. Sexual violence is about violence. Period, end of story. It's criminal, treat it that way, talk about it that way, and approach it from a position that all non-violent, law abiding citizens should always find it reprehensible. Make it about male oppression or female counter-oppression and the entire 'criminal' and 'violent' part just disappears and it turns into just another gender battle. It happens here all the time.
The author of that particular piece is ignorant and fu*cked in the head. Oppose the sex ed changes all you want, there are valid enough reasons given the early age they are starting. Start talking about 'deviant sexuality' and turning someone 'gay by example' that's ignorant. Like Coldstream level ignorant.
I definitely agree there could better representation on this matter, but sexual assault is primarily a man hurting woman thing, so there is nothing wrong with making a claim for the source of that violence as long as there is evidence for it.
80% of victims are women if I'm not mistaken.
I agree that they should better represent that proportion in their ads.

This type of same sex education thinking is normal in the LGBT community and that's why the openly gay Ontario Premier sees nothing wrong with it. Only religious groups have problems with it.

and yet you said you think a return to cave man mentality with the old fashioned alpha male is the answer to everything bad in society
if they give me just one of the million, someone can have mine
yes and no
it is less than it was within certain segments of society, we have a huge problem on the Reserves and if they want to spend 41 million on something it shouldn't be on a study and it shouldn't flow freely into the Reserves either.
it is....how could you possibly conclude otherwise...it's tied to domestic violence which is hooked to unemployment , alcohol and drug use and in general just "poverty". Yes well educated, highly employed men of a "certain" mind set abuse too but that is not a systemic issue.
it is disappointing to see that coldstream...why would you say such a thing when logic and stats indicate otherwise?
