Two pages after excoriating local preachers for “blessing people with their bodies instead of the Holy Ghost” and allowing “women in the pulpit,” the Seattle Faze gets, yes, EVEN WEIRDER. A page-6 story, titled “When Love Goes Wrong,” is about a group called Men Against Abusive Women, which, according to the article, “deals with issues of male abuse [w]hen a male has been sent to jail by an angry and vindictive female for no other reason than to get him out of the house, due to anger, alcohol or … some misunderstanding or hidden agenda.”

The article continues: “Men Against Abusive Women, gives men the same option that women have Somewhere to turn when caught in an abusive situation and have been thrust from their home into a legal situation that is neither willing to uphold their innocence, or justify their inaction in defending themselves.”

Huh? Has anyone heard of this group? Are they for real?
