The Hutt News on 15/10/2002 published an article headlined: "Using
Pacific culture to hit at violence", which was an illuminating depiction
of Dykist brainwashing of Pacific Islanders by Dykist convert Folau
Alofa to believe that men are responsible for all Domestic Violence,
and women are always innocent, no matter what they do or say.
Here is my translation of the more striking bits of that article
from the Dykist language into English:
- Dykist: "Every man (initially) says he has done
nothing wrong, every man is perfect. It is his wife that has
the problem." English: "Every man (initially)
tries to state his point of view, but he soon learns that Dykism
doesn't allow a man to have a point of view."
- Dykist: "The model Folau Alofa uses is based
on Pacific Island culture and encourages the violent man to view
a victim of violence as his own sister." English:
"Pacific Island culture has been resistant to Dykist indoctrination,
so the Dykists have had to think of some brainwashing trick that
would bring them around."
- Dykist: "The trust also runs a women's group
to help the women support the men by getting them to recognise and
reduce the triggers that lead to violence." English: "The
Dykists have thought of a way to stop women being psychologically
or physically abusive to their menfolk, without actually admitting
that women are ever violent or abusive: the Dykist solution is to
call this abuse "triggers". Instead of the Dykists admitting
that violence by BOTH men AND women has to be stopped, they
concentrate on stopping male violence, and any success they have
in this is due to the fact that they manage to stop the female abuse
that causes the male violence -- by calling it "triggers".
