Refuges for beaten women should actually employ straight men as otherwise you are re-enforcing a negative steroetype that all men will beat women.

In fact the shelters should actually help the victom identify the man who has beaten them and ensurte that the victim recongnises that it was that person who perpetrated the violence and not the male half of the race.

I have worked in a womens refuge where men were employed.
The women in refuges know exactly who has abused them and the ones I met were not in fear of men, just one man in particular.

Atkins - I'm sure you can change that into a religion.

Atkins doesn't say you must eat meat. It only says if you do, it mustn't be in a sandwich.

Are there any religions that dictate "You must eat meat for lunch?"

No you're not

Oh yes you are

"I'm so glad to get into this refuge, away from my beating husband."

"He's behind you!"

Was it in the UK?

If I was off a religious persuasion with a restrictive diet based on my religious beliefs, and the charity got any funding from the public purse I would be tempted to take them to court.

I worked at a charity for a while, and because the owner was a vegan they had it written in the employees contract that could be sacked if they'd be found to eat meat

Being a contractor I took great delighted in asking if anyone wanted a beef burger for lunch

Hmmm... Shame it's illegal to discriminate on the grounds of religion.

Apparently it's legal to do so if the religious place hires.

It's a real bitch knocking that 3rd nail in.

It's easier if you sing always look on the bright side of life

Religious organisation can only specify that in leadership roles, the gardener doesn't have to be a Bible basher

Source?

The refuge can and in my opinion should hire Gay men as well.

You're confusing what they "can" do legally and what they "can" do when you put yourself in the mindset of a battered woman... which is entirely for them to decide as long as they do so within the law.

I can't see why battered wives would only feel unsafe around straight men though. I said a refuge for beaten women, not raped women.
