NOTE (Thomas writing now): I've fixed the bad link in the original post. (Sorry for any inconvenience.) If you tried to view the article and gave up, please try again. It's an interesting read.

jenk writes The former Gwinnett school teacher who three years ago fled to the
Cayman Islands with her children, only to lose them to their father
earlier this year when authorities returned her to the United States,
got them back in a Fulton court Tuesday.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge John J. Goger overturned an earlier
order that had given custody of Emily and Jeffrey Taylor Weeks to their
father, Jeff Weeks. In a decision late Tuesday morning, Goger gave
primary custody of the children back to Joyce Williams, 35, of Sugar
Hill, claiming he had misgivings about their father's character.

Thomas writing again: This case may be of concern to both men's rights activists and gay/lesbian/bi-sexual rights activists.

Thomas writing now: Please note that, while I have a great deal of respect for Jenk, unless I saw the ad myself, any letter that I wrote would contain a statement such as "though I haven't seen it, I understand that you are circulating an ad depicting fathers as bumbling fools. Rest assured that, if I ever do see such an ad for your products, I will never purchase any of your products again."

Anonymous User writes "While people might differ about the importance of the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance, everyone should agree that it's a tragedy for fathers to be turned into wallets and be legally deprived of the opportunity to be a father. Yet the fact that the guy in this case cares about his daughter is being used in a front-page Washington Post article (Dec. 2, "An Allegiance to Dissent") to portray him as a weirdo! Here's my response to the Post:"

Henry Vincent writes "I'd like to propose that Dec. 7 be recognized as Life-Gap Awareness Day. Men in the Western world die on average 5-6 years earlier than women. This works out to around 24 days a year less that men have to live than women. The number of days from Dec. 7 to the start of the new year would represent the difference in the amount of lifespan between men and women each year.

Anyone think this is a good idea?"



Sounds like a great way to get the message out to me.

jenk writes "As reported in The Age,

The Chief Justice of the Family Court has accused a federal MP of attempting to intimidate him by calling for his resignation amid a heated public debate over child custody.

Chris Pearce, Liberal MP for the eastern Melbourne seat of Aston and a member of the parliamentary committee examining reforms to joint custody law, said yesterday Chief Justice Alastair Nicholson should step down because he had unduly tried to influence the committee.

A prominent parenting lobby group, the Shared Parenting Council of Australia, joined the call for Justice Nicholson's resignation."

Members receive a wide range of benefeits from Citigroup associates such as Citibank, Smith Barney, and Travelers Insurance. Benefeits include a hotline for financial planning advice and discounts for childcare services for mom (sorry, dad). Surprisingly, members have access to lower interest rates for home mortgages, auto loans and student loans. The rationale for all of this is the 76.3 cents per every dollar a man earns argument."

I'm posting a link to this article, because I think it shows where we are headed in the near future or, perhaps, where we've already arrived.

Now that the courts as well as the general public are becoming aware of the fact that some women lie about being assaulted or otherwise victimized, I suspect we will soon see an increasing number of cases like this, where the woman claims the man abused her and the man claims the woman abused him and government entities find it's in their interest to side with the man.

It was so easy, when we all knew that women never lie about being assaulted (sarcasm off). I can't tell you how often I've been told, "No woman would ever lie about being assaulted by a man," though I haven't heard that one for a couple years.

I've decided to list this link separately, rather than mentioning it under the Cathy Young article's post, so that the maximum number of people will see it. Professor Mills provides some valuable insights into the complex problem of domestic violence. One of them is how often shaming tactics are used against men who are victims of DV.

If I were investing in a social movement today, I wouldn't put my hard earned cash into shares of mainstream feminism.

CJ writes "Cathy Young has done it again. She has outlined in a prominent Boston Globe article how the domestic violence Industry is based on the false premise that violence happens as a result of “patriarchal norms” and not because of personal psychological reasons, and that the current "lock 'em up" dogma that plagues average non-violent men in our society is tragically flawed. Linda G. Mills (of New York University, a professor of law and social work and author of the new book) book "From Insult to Injury: Rethinking Our Responses to Intimate Abuse" addresses the flawed dogma of the DV industry. The current ideology that views all men as wolves and all women as lambs is too deeply entrenched in society needs to be heard by politicians, judges, prosecutors and many others. It took the "mainstream" feminists about 30 years to establish their monopoly on the public debate about domestic violence. Mills' book may be the first step in dismantling that monopoly. Lets show our support for the book and to the Boston Globe for publishing this brave article. Lets get behind this one!"
