Good Brit Essay on Anti-male Court System

Roy writes "
Excellent essay by Melanie Phillips in London’s Daily Mail (linked from MND site) following the “Spiderman” incident of civil disobedience to bring attention to legal injustices against men and fathers.

While the context is the U.K., the same tyranny in the courts is evident here in the Land o’ the Free.

(Excerpts) -

“The whole justice system is institutionally biased against men and marriage. It is driven by an extreme feminist agenda, which stretches from the humblest family lawyer through the politically correct Law Commission to reach all the way up to government and the senior reaches of the judiciary.



How else can one explain the extraordinary proposal by the Law Commission -- which is expected to be backed by the government -- that women who commit premeditated murder of their menfolk may be charged merely with manslaughter if they have been abused?



…through a combination of moral cowardice and extreme feminism, family lawyers have been writing personal responsibility out of the script for decades. First, they removed the idea that behaviour mattered, so that eventually divorce law became so meaningless that fault was removed from it altogether.
And now, they actually reward bad behaviour. Despite the fact that women have been becoming increasingly unfaithful and predatory, they are now mainly awarded the lion’s share of divorce settlements.”"
