Further, the author contends the VAWA is unjust because men pay more taxes than women do to support programs that benefit only women and because more men are crime victims than women and many of these crimes are domestic violence crimes perpetrated by women against men. He discusses the declining status of men in the context of feminist views on patriarchy and examines what he refers to as codified gender feminism. The author also considers the idea of female complicity in domestic violence and emphasizes the importance of having a biological father in the household and preserving the traditional family as the most effective way of reducing domestic violence.
