Forget the 40 Shades of Grey books everybody. According to the Greens we have it all wrong and the main cause of domestic abuse is monster trucks and Barbie dolls with groups claiming boys that play with monster trucks are most likely to become domestic abusers and girls that play with Barbie dolls are most likely to become victims of domestic absue later in life. This is honestly the most ridiciolous load of crap I have ever heard and it is all over the news here in Australia and they want to ban them from the shops and thankfully most people with common sense are ignoring them. My Wife and I do not buy our daughters Barbie dolls and we didn’t have them or monster trucks when we were young but I know a lot of men and women that grew up playing with toy cards, toy trucks and dolls that are not violent or victims of domestic violence and I am not sure where these beliefs have come from.

I don’t blame the rise of domestic abuse in Australia along with the rise of rape on a book or toys but I do blame part of it on the pornification of Generation Y specifically the easy access to various forms of pornography young boys now have on the internet and it’s sickening to hear there are young boys only two years older than my step daughter being arrested for raping girls and making them play-out scenes they have watched in pornographic movies. My Wife was raped when she was 19 and she got pregnant and even though she was severely bullied nearly every day at her old school by other girls and boys she says rape was not something she had to worry about back then nor was it for my sister or any of my other female friends and it is only recent that we are seeing rapists as young as this.

We are also seeing kids taking knives and screwdrivers to schools to use as weapons and there was a 12 year old boy who tried to attack a group of Jewish kids outside a school in Sydney and it’s crazy to see how messed up things are becoming. I am not trying to say domestic abuse or rape is new by any means and we are definitely seeing more cases reported now because many women aren’t as scared to come forward anymore which is a good thing but the statistics show domestic abuse is growing in numbers and we only have to look at the increase of alcohol related violence which is currently at an all-time high in Australia. According to a current affair type programs alcohol related violence is close to taking over smoking as the leading cause of death in Australia and that might sound surprising to some but not to people such as myself that live around the areas where it is most common.

Recent statistics show up to 90 percent of alcohol and drug related violence is caused by Gen Y (with males between the ages 18-25 being responsible for most coward’s punches) and while I won’t go as far to say they are all violent little turds with no morals or respect for other people like my sister says because I have met some that aren’t the statistics speak for themselves. My Wife’s uncle is a federal police officer and during his 35 years of experience he says there are more violent crimes happening now than ever and most of those crimes of course are caused by the same age group and when you have violent crimes skyrocketing it is only natural other crimes like domestic abuse and rape will rise too and you can blame most of it on the broken court system.
