Article here. I can see the kids' POV in this one case. A father with mood/temper problems is scary and may well be an unfit parent. Plus the approach taken seems excessive: separating the CP (ie, the mother) from the kids entirely. All in all, it's just sad. Excerpt:

'The treatment the Nielsens underwent is part of an industry of intensive “reunification therapy” that has sprung up during the past decade and is ordered by family courts to settle custody fights. Services like Building Family Bridges, where the Nielsens were forced to go, use videos and exercises to try to break a child’s pattern of rejecting a parent. The child is then ordered to live with that parent for an extended period and barred from having contact with the other parent. A battle has erupted over the approach in courtrooms and statehouses across the country.

'It's a trend experts say will drag on the economy and could take years to fix, mainly because men have already been dropping out of the workforce for decades.

According to Carol Graham, a senior fellow of economic studies at the Brookings Institute, the labor force participation rate of prime working-age men has been declining over the last twenty years. Today, 10% of men aged 25-54 don't have a job and aren't looking for one, more than triple the percentage recorded in 1955, when just 3% were out of the workforce, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

That amounts to around 7 million prime working-age men who aren't working — and has introduced a host of problems for the economy, leaving key industries understaffed and adding to the strain on government services and social safety nets, Graham and other experts told Business Insider.

'The way Randall Dill tells it, he was a 'model employee' for IBM, nurturing relationships with the Pentagon and other big spenders.

Then came the diversity targets, and the Michigander was kicked out of the computing giant so it could hire more women and minorities, he says.

Worse still — says a lawsuit filed with a Michigan US District Court on Wednesday — Dill's bosses didn't tell him straight why he was being axed.

Instead, they said he wasn't bringing in enough business — even though that was never his job, the suit says.

In reality, the papers say, the managers wanted to bump up their bonuses by culling white and Asian male staff and recruit more women and other minorities.'

'A paper by Dr. Murray Straus addressed the issue of feminists distorting domestic violence data. He identified the seven primary methods they used as being:

To suppress Evidence

To avoid obtaining data inconsistent with the Patriarchal Dominance Theory

To cite only studies that show Male Perpetration

To conclude that results support Feminist beliefs when they do not

To create “evidence” by citation

To obstruct publication of articles and obstruct funding research that might contradict the idea that male dominance is the cause of PV (see this post)

To harass, threaten, and penalize researchers who produce evidence that contradicts feminist beliefs'

Paul Elam has thoughtfully posted some videos from the ICMI24 conference on YouTube. You can find them by going to YouTube and searching on "ICMI24". All of them are good. One that especially caught my ear had to do with the connection between population control and feminism, here. Enjoy!

'Researchers say the United States is dealing with an “epidemic” of male loneliness. Though, as Los Angeles Times columnist Jean Guerrero notes, shocking numbers of men feel that no one “knows” them. Worse, Guerrero says the data shows that men are “less skilled than women at making friends.” This is the case despite a long effort to socialize boys. In fact, according to Guerrero, “Young men, who tend to be more progressive and are presumably more comfortable with intimacy than their elders, are … the most isolated.” How can this be?

'It's a question of fairness in parenting.

A federal lawsuit — which could set new precedent — names judges and the Tennessee Attorney General on the issue of child custody.

That lawsuit argues that state law is unfairly biased against fathers, and is unconstitutional.

Historically, often with good reason, judges have favored the mother in child custody cases.

But times have changed, and one middle Tennessee man says the law unfairly excludes fathers from their children's lives.

Dr. Scott Wilson loves his daughter.

He and her mother never married, but they lived together since their child was born.'

'Democratic Senator Chris Murphy argued that Democrats had ceded the conversation on masculinity to Republicans. “We certainly should believe that masculinity can exist side by side with feminism, but we’ve got to acquire a language to talk to boys and men about the future of maleness, and right now we don’t have it,” Murphy said. “I do not think the majority of men believe that women should be removed from the workplace, but they notice when Democrats aren’t talking about addressing some of the real crises that exist in male identity today.”'

'Frontline police officers and detectives routinely show courage when confronting the violent, dangerous and heinous. So you’d think police chiefs might be willing to really ask themselves whether their force is as impartial as many of them claim.

Putting aside relatively complex operational matters, such as the policing of protests and the response to crime itself, perhaps we can just examine the track record of the administration in some forces.

In just the last five years, British policing has plenty of examples of veering off course.

We’ve seen Cheshire Constabulary found guilty of discrimination on the basis of not just race, but sexual orientation and sex too. The force rejected a prospective police officer because he was – put simply – a white heterosexual man.

'Madison Bergmann’s ex-fiancé still speaks to the Wisconsin fifth-grade teacher — even after she was busted for allegedly “making out” with an 11-year-old in her classroom, according to friends.

“They still talk, as far as I know,” says a pal, who was invited to the couple’s now-canceled July 27 wedding.

“But obviously, everything has changed. He was betrayed in a really big way, but he was madly in love, and you can’t just turn that off.”

Now, Bergmann is hiding on her grandparents’ farm and avoiding most of her former friends — including the bridal party from her aborted ceremony.

“She seems embarrassed to face us,” the friend tells The Post. “She’s ghosted everyone, which is kind of to be expected.”

Bergmann, 24, has been charged with first-degree child sexual assault of a child under age 13.'

'The new Labour Party government in Britain is reportedly planning on treating “extreme misogyny” in the same manner as terrorism amid a supposed rise of radicalisation of young men on the internet.

Teachers, healthcare professionals, and local officials in Britain may become legally obligated to report young men to the government’s Prevent counter-terror programme in the same manner as Islamic terrorism or far-right radicalism if they are suspected of “extreme misogyny,” The Telegraph reports.

Under the programme, those referred to Prevent are assessed by police and their local authority to determine if they are in need of deradicalisation training.

According to The Guardian, British boys are already being reported to the counterextremism programme by their schools for repeating Tate’s views or for “verbal harassment” of female teachers.

'An honor flight for women who served in the U.S. armed forces could soon be coming to the U.P.

U.P. Honor Flight brings veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials for the wars they fought in. Most of the veterans who take advantage of the opportunity are men, but the organization is looking to change that. If there’s enough interest, it’s considering a women‘s-only flight next May.

U.P. Honor Flight says a women’s only flight could make women feel safer.

“I think we’re going to get a better response from the women population doing an all-women veteran flight,” said U.P. Honor Flight President Scott Knauf.'
