That is the reality of the situation. Children deserve both parents, and fathers deserve equal rights.
And fathers are not heartless ATMs, even if feminists want them considered such.
End male-bashing gender bias!
in reality, fathers, men in other words , tend to make their children and the mothers of their children the TARGETS... or how many more times do you need to read how an angry man decided he needed to kill his children and their mother just to make a point?
Listen....let's be honest....men are the dominant species...not better....not more valuable...just the dominant gender....and with that comes RESPONSIBILITY.....a large , large portion of today's (yesterday's) evil in the world lies at the feet of men....the wars...the starvation...the enslaveing of people...this is man's doing...
oh how I wish that my gender had the smarts and the pride to not put up with it...to not become appendages to men....but that is our biology....as much as I dislike it....we are the nesters and the nuturers...we are not the ones to set cultural policy...we go along, as we have always done....
so make up all these phony-baloney evil arguements against women ...how WE are to blame...how WE want divorce...it's absurd...
I come from two living parents that have been married for over 50 years, and my hubby of 26 years has parents alive that are also married for over 50 years...we feel like we are anachromisms....
you want to stay married?...try friendship first...companionship....similar values....and it doesn't hurt to come from stock that believes in fidelity and marriage...
The state has no business or interest in marriage. Like everything else they touch, they lower standards. And yet the right is begging them to continue overseeing God's domain because a few gay people might think they have the right to get married.
That's a fact, and the reason for it has been addressed at some length on this thread.
Also, the majority of infanticides, per the 1994 Justice Dept report, are commited by women. 55%.
Baby-killer Andrea Yates is being defended by Texas NOW feminists.
The family court system is anti-father.
Your post stereotypes men. Wrongly. Virtue or lack thereof is 100% irrespective of gender.
What I'm for is a complete end to gender bias. It could be argued that 200 years ago, custody cases were biased in favor of men. In 2001, they are biased in favor of women. Both situations are wrong. I seek equal rights.
Arriviste, or " old money ", dear ? : - )
Since this isn't a peeing contest, I'll just leave it at that. ROTFLOL
Look at all of the male whinging / female bashing / the rich are evil posts to this thread. Historically speaking, MEN got the huse, property AND children, when there was a divorce, until quite recently. If girls and boys didn't shack up / have one night stands rior to marriage, and the culture didn't accept easy divorce, there would be less of it. If people didn't voew " relationships " of every kind, as " disposable ", today, and actually WORKED at them, there would be fewer divorces. If people didn't engage in extended adolescence, sometimes into their 50's, today, there would be fewere divorces. THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE TOPIC, NOR ONE WORTHY OF GLIB, JUVENILE REMARKS !
Reread this entire thread. Then reply to me. Oh, and IF you don't like my style ... T-O-U-G-H !
No law will ever be passed that is not flexible. Thank the ACLU and the democrats for that!
Does that make you a fellow Mensa member?
It's hard to plow through the vitriol, capital letters, and wild generalizations long enough to get to the points.
Historically speaking...anti-father liberalized divorce has been instituted for 30+ years. Look at what has happened to society in the exact same time pereiod: crime, teen pregnancy, drugs...
The time periods don't coincide coincidentally.
It's cause and effect.
