  1. I find it extremely odd that groups affiliated with the topic of this issue should require a focus on men, being the perpetrator and women, as the victim. I lost custody to a female batterer and because of one of such groups, Justice for Children. Now what would the world think if I assembled some folks with the prerequisite of gender on my issue?
