Erin Pizzey is a British feminist, born in 1939, who is best-known for starting, in 1971, the first - and currently the largest - women's domestic violence shelter, Refuge. She was later largely-exiled from the mainstream feminist movement for being insufficiently radical - i.e., she didn't hate men enough! Following, is a recent video of her discussing the current bias against men in the legal and judicial system. Some quotes from Pizzey in the interview include: "Women can pick up the phone to call the police to take the man away; they don't have to have any evidence"; "it's a long, terrible road for men who are in this position"; "the most frightening thing is the false allegations"; "it's become completely dishonest and corrupt, and the feminised courts and the feminised judiciary and the feminised social services, civil services, right the way through, there is a huge diaspora of men that have lost everything, and it has been seriously unjust"; "all women are innocent victims of men's violence"; "if a woman says she is the victim of domestic violence, she can't be questioned, and there is no evidence necessary"; "there are lots and lots of kangaroo courts, so if men are accused by women, they have no representation".
