Stephen Baskerville: "Divorced from Reality"

Submitted by Matt on Mon, 2009-01-05 02:09

Article here. Excerpt:

'The decline of the family has now reached critical and truly dangerous proportions. Family breakdown touches virtually every family and every American. It is not only the major source of social instability in the Western world today but also seriously threatens civic freedom and constitutional government.

G. K. Chesterton once observed that the family serves as the principal check on government power, and he suggested that someday the family and the state would confront one another. That day has arrived.
...
Contrary to common assumptions, divorce today seldom involves two people mutually deciding to part ways. According to Frank Furstenberg and Andrew Cherlin in Divided Families, 80 percent of divorces are unilateral, that is, over the objection of one spouse. Patricia Morgan of London’s Civitas think tank reports that in over half of divorces, there was no recollection of major conflict before the separation.'

I have several, and will have them all before I'm done.

Okay youse guyz, these books are WELL worth the investment... perhaps not as entertaining as John Grisham or Steve Koontz, but every bit as engaging. You can loose hours reading them.

My advice?

Just sit down and read it the first 2 times, THEN start taking notes... and be ready to take lots and lots of notes. If you're on the register of those amongst us whom have been deemed unfit as parents and only marginally fit as humans under the mighty Family Court Gavel, these are some books you absolutely need to read. You will come away with a much better understanding of how and why you were plowed into that tiny little corner of the world you've been permitted to carve out for yourself... under the yoke of cultural castigation.

Seriously, if you or anyone you know has been bulldozed by the divorce industry... you REALLY need to read these books.

Especially 'Taken into Custody'.

I like the comment of The Gunner. I have not been a victim (at least not to any great extent) of the divorce industry. Yet despite this I am perhaps the most bitter and extreme poster here. It is not divorce that embitters me but 30 years of marriage and the insight that has given me. Women can not help what they are and to call them filth is just a short hand for saying all that is crap about them.

With or without feminism women are a cancer. They can not be otherwise. Also despite all the optimism that one sometimes reads about how things will change I know that this will never be the case. I don't seek to convince you of this for why should I care if you believe me or not. I intend to use my insight to navigate my own ship - others can do as they please.

I see that women are a parasite. They are a very clever parasite as they will deform the host but never kill it.

By the way you don't need any books to inform you. It's easy. Just look at many musical comedies of the twenties and thirties and if you look hard enough you will see that there is plenty of warning of what the reality is. Did you know for example that the term Gold Digger was coined in the twenties to describe a particular woman who enriched herself by serially divorcing rich men. She had Charley Chaplin in her sights but he had no double got wise from his own earlier divorce, so this did not happen.

If you really want to help yourself then repeat after me - WOMEN ARE FILTH. Now is that not better?

The following people should read Taken Into Custody:

All fathers
All MRA's
All men considering marriage (Baskerville recommends to men that they *not get married* in today's environment)

The family and divorce courts and system, are truly the American Gulag. I thought I was well-read as an MRA, but this book is a real eye-opener.
