US: House Resolution 182 seeks to villify men and fathers

Submitted by anthony on Tue, 2008-09-02 20:54.

Article here. Excerpt:

"Here is a section of proposed Joint Resolution 182 of the United States Congress, intended to compensate for what the resolution's proponents claim is "gender bias" in the judicial system....

'Whereas, as a result of this gender bias, many myths are that (sic) women make false allegations of domestic violence or child abuse, and most particularly of child sexual abuse, during divorce and custody proceedings;

Whereas false accusations by women are in fact rare, occurring no more often than do other false reports of crimes, such as bank robbery.'"

Ed. note: I looked on Thomas but could not find the full text. Can anyone post a link? Thanks!

Here is a resolution from 1997

Here is a resolution from 1997 that seems to match what you posted. I don't know. Was it passed back then? Has it been reintroduced?

Whatever, it's ridiculous.
