Like Some Sort Of NGO

Mary Malone writes:
The Spanish Law of Gender Violence is enforced by special tribunals, outside the normal court system. Not only can they make civil judgements regarding custody and property, but also in criminal matters, where it is assumed that the defendant is guilty of the accusation, and he, (for it is always a he), must prove his innocence. Like many sex crimes trials in this country it is assumed that the woman is telling the truth, even when she has a huge financial incentive to have the man convicted.
Feminism once spoke of women's dignity and freedom. In a patriarchal society, where earning money was lauded and women's free labour derided, Feminism stood up for our worth. But State Feminism wishes to inflict upon us the values of Patriarchy, the lauding of waged labour and the derision of the free gift, a free gift whose value is not registered in the 'Economy'. State Feminism is a false feminism, feminism assimilated by Power, and turned into an instrument of repression.
Vichy Feminists, these women who collaborate with Patriarchy, only value work that is done under duress, under the threat of punishment, degraded work, joyless work, work done within the Hierarchy of Power. To enslave the female, she must be parted from her mate. He must no longer provide for her or protect her. She must be persuaded that his love is slavery, and that working for the boss, eating alone, living in a cold and childless house, is, in fact, liberation.
So a Narrative is invented - women good, gays good, men bad - anal sex good, sterility good, mixing fluids bad. Complaints are invited against heterosexual men, who according to the orthodoxy of biological determinism are born bad.
He is hauled before the court, he is assumed to be guilty, he is stripped of his home and his family and sent to prison, guilty of being a man.
There will always be denunciations. From an early age we are told to tell teacher, to learn that Power is the arbiter in our private relationships. Power - the police, teachers, social workers are ever seeking new business. A virus, a cancer, the Imperative of Power is to grow and to consume all life.
And so, the police have arrived at the heart of the family.
Police numbers grow at around 5% per year. Women are assimilated into the forces of oppression, not just as social workers and teachers but as police too, contributing around 20% of new recruits and around 55% of new recruits at executive grade. Already there are women who are police chiefs in the regions.
The ever increasing assimilation of women into the forces of repression is given a veneer of Progress, allowing the State to present itself not as an institution that brutalises common folk, but as some sort of Charity or NGO, dedicated to saving weak females.
