Three years in prison for the wife: Bad man change clothes

'All men know that women manipulate, and if that doesn't work, so they control their men by causing them discomfort and guilt. The scold out, ignoring, and creating a bad atmosphere.'

'What man has not heard himself ask his partner: ’what's wrong?’ and got the false answer: ’nothing’.'

'Only when we have said sorry, and do as they will, turning the mood back.'

so begins Peter Secher a letter to the editor to the nation! about the new law against psychological violence, as justice minister Søren Pape launched yesterday - a law to ensure that psychological violence are punished just as hard as physical violence. Peter would seem, the law is difficult to understand. His letter continues thus:

'the Men marching order to the bars of the parolerne ’happy wife – happy life’ and ’you get right I get peace’.'

But it's over now!

the Bill describes the namely, among other things, psychological violence in detail.

’Manipulative behaviour as f.ex. the influence of forurettedes thoughts, attitudes and behavior in crafty, misleading, agitating, or seductive actions.

The injured will f.ex. could find that the offender distorts a situation, such that the perpetrator's abusive behaviour experienced by the victim as self-inflicted.’

'So the next time you clean up instead of watching football, because the wife otherwise scold you out and put you on ice the next time she is in the same way, you get to say ’yes thanks ’to the organic vegan speltsalat instead of pizza, and maybe even repeat to you the has become thick, then you are a victim of criminal psychological violence. '

'I hope my mother forgives me when I reveal that she's with the hard hand controls familiekalenderen, and that she every single night yelling at my father for falling asleep in the couch.'

'She wakes him and says: ’You must not sleep now’. She is sometimes just like all other women - have been mad when he came home late, because he would rather be with people she is, moreover, preferably so that he escaped.'

'And she has many times cursed him out for his tøjvalg. When she was sufficiently sour, he was ignored.'

'But she must tread carefully in the future. For further on in the bill one can read, that it should be a criminal offence, to ...

... 'take control of a person's life to decide when the person is sleeping, engage in social interaction with others what persons shall be circumvented, which clothes the person should wear, etc., [and] to ignore a person.’

- When women in the mother groups, strikkeklubber and in cafes telling their girlfriends that their man is lazy, fat and bad in bed, so they can continue the talk in the prison, for that is what the bill calls ’spreading malicious gossip, rumours or intimate information’, and it costs up to three years in prison.

- Pape has, fortunately, decided to transform the state Prison in Jyderup to a clean women's prison. It was prescient and wise. - It will need to, when penal code § 243 of psychological violence enters into force.

'As you can probably figure out, will Pape enough to say that it is not the intention of the law to punish women like my mother. But it is impossible to read out in the bill.'

'this distinguishes the bill from all other penalties, where it is usually easy to read what you can and cannot do.'

'We have rules that you must not kill, steal, or run more than 50 km/h in the cities. It is usually easy to know when one is perpetrator or victim.'

'But the bill's examples fit at all long-lasting relationships to one degree or another – at least in periods.'

'Therefore, the question is: What is psychological violence ? You can define it unequivocally? When is it so grossly, that it is a criminal offence?'

'Can it be that my mom doesn't know if she can continue to wake up my dad every night, or whether she should spend the next 3 years in Jyderup.'

'My main argument against the law is, that the freer interpretation based on the airy process and the judge's hunches, etc. is associated with a significant risk of being arbitrary', writes Peter Secher, who believe that the law - together with the proposal for the consent of sexual intercourse - is Pape's latest prostration to the krænkelseskulturen.
