Women's Groups Boycott Divorce Law Talks, Demand Their Own

	posted by Scott on Friday July 06, @07:17PM from the divorce dept.
	Earlier we had reported on the Canadian women's groups that have refused to sit at the table with father's rights advocates to discuss changes to Canada's divorce laws. From this National Post story: "Although the consultations ended last month, the Justice Department and its provincial partners are considering a special session for "women's equality-seeking organizations" that are fighting proposed changes to the federal Divorce Act. Those changes would give separated and divorced parents an equal say in raising their children under a new concept called shared parenting. The women's groups are urging governments "not to cave into a father's rights groups agenda."" Apparently it's okay to cave into the agenda of the women's groups, though.

Canadian feminists boycott hearings. (Score:1) by claude on Saturday July 07, @04:39PM EST (#2) (User #85 Info) I am amazed how powerfull are these feminists. If they are sincere, they are misinformed. Well , I tend to say: let them be heard alone by the Minister and let the men be heard alone by the Minister. May be the feminists are really afraid of these men. I personnally answered the questionnaire the government offer the public to answer. I favored share parenting in the questionnaire and suggested that false allegations be punished.

If they don't want to sit at the table because they're so used to being pandered to, have the talks without their input. Next time maybe they'll realize they don't run the world and they have to consider everyone's interests, not just feminists.

And the feminists are certainly used to being pandered to. We've seen them accuse people of "hiding behind the First Amendment" whenever someone disagrees with them. We've seen them banish men from activism projects which could have been organized for the benefit of everyone, not just feminists. The sad truth is, they ARE used to getting their own way, and all they can do is pout and boycott if they don't.
