It's important the pro-father groups not become just the opposite of groups like NOW. Things NOW has done are just as bad for women. The idea is come up with pro-family laws, not one that ``favor'' men or women.

Outstanding essay. The degradation of American men continues unabated, to the detrement of us all.

Great report, and as a veteran and minority father I can report to you, this is the main reason(s) why the inner-cities are falling apart so fast. The good fathers are being taken-out and groups like the NAACP, ACLU and the Democrat control cities are NOT addressing this at all, why?....why?

Interesting stuff. I wonder if anyone has tried a 14th Amendment equal protection argument in such a case.

Wow, I never thought of it that way, but you're absolutely right.

Excellent report, Roger.

For all the talk about the importance of preserving family, the strange thing is that only fathers' rights advocates show serious interest through their words and actions.

I am certainly not a feminist; I firmly believe that fathers are fundamental to raising healthy children, especially boys; and I think no-fault divorce is a travisty; however this statement (and additude) is laughable. The vast, vast majority of fathers' rights organizations appear to only be interested in what works best for the father, not the family as a whole. Whether it be money, child custody, visitation or whatever, they may couch it in the language of being "for the family", but I find it laughable.

Is divorce "fair" in our society? No, certainly not. It's not far for the children; it's not fair for the mothers; it's not fair for the fathers. Should the way we, as a society, view and implement divorce be changed? Absolutely, but I don't see following the models of fathers' rights organization as being an improvement, just a different system.
