This is just SO NOT RIGHT...

*WHEEEET!* Hey, guys!Yeah, you menfolk that read my posts. You're the ones who are most likely to be approached by members and supporters of the Fathers4Justice movement; men who feel that the courts are unfair to fathers in family justice courts, and demand that the legal system give their rights more consideration. Their motto is "FIGHTING FOR

*twitches* Good. Fucking. Lord.

This makes me sick. -.-

Me, too. Literally sick with sympathetic horror, anger and outrage...

Spread the word and the link to your buddies, and ask them to spread the word as well. Because this definitely affects you folks north of the border as well; Fathers4Justice has a Canadian chapter, too. http://www.fathers-4-justice.ca/en/

Makes me sick to my stomach. It's a mother's worse nightmare. I don't have any kids and it still could give me nightmares.

I have never thought these people have been anything but grandstanding blowhards. This article's a big help. Thanks, Kimberley.

It is funny how so many nasty groups hide behind respectability and legitimacy. The words "social justice", "soldiarity", and "family values" make me cringe, because of what is beneath the surface.

I do admit that there is abias in favor of a mother in custody cases, but it is backed by centuries of tradition. I had a weekend father who was not much of a father, but my mother was a castrating bitch who used me as a target for all anger she had at males, especially her ex-husband and older brothers who picked on her, and I wish I had the legal right to "pay her back" for all the problems her emotions caused me.

I also knew a Detachment Sergeant who was an excellent single father to his little girl. I guess the best solution is for the courts to look at each case indiviually and in some cases neither parent is ift to raise a child, and in other cases, teh families should be split as some chidlren are better raised by one than the other.

Too right, there are families where the father is definitely the better parent than the mother; in one divorce case, I actually told the father that I would be willing to stand up in court and be a character witness for the mother's unfitness to be a parent. He was just a coworker, not really a friend, but she was just two degrees shy of bugshit insane and turning their kids' lives into hell on earth. Luckily, the court figured that out on their own.

But the thing about Fathers4Justice is that the laws they lobbied into place in the U.K. make it damn near impossible for judges to look at cases individually, the way they should be judged. Either standard joint custody or visitation rights will be granted to the father, and when the father is a monster he can use those rights to do what he likes to those kids and no one can stop him.

That is why this organization must be stopped. If they had their way, the same thing would happen in this country and Canada as well.
