Broadsides


As usual- this Broadsides appeals to all my better sides- like-intelligence and an over-developed sense of humour. (I'm leaving out modesty)
Coming in the wake of the Jailing of a Mother- (because she couldn't force her daughter to visit the father) -I find the article most timely !

Nowhere can I find reports of a father being jailed because he couldn't force a child to visit the mother. Hmmm. Apart from the fact that mostly mothers have custody after divorce- still- with all the often unintelligible mumblings of fathers rights types- one seems to find certain types of fathers on top of bridges,buildings or cranes- but rarely in jail. Now- why do you suppose that is ?????

God is a man -male- supposedly. Does that make all males- like- little breakoff bits of god ?? or- wannabe gods ?? hmm.

In any case- love Broadsides. All religions seem, to me, to be -often examples of groupthink- which is dangerous. Maybe the courts suffer from groupthink, too. Is groupthink a corollary of - -nothink? Methinks maybe.

Not that jailing mothers/women is anything new. Far from it. A bit better than Salem etc. - .Therefore, I suppose one could say- we have evolved ????????

A mother in the United States has been sent to jail until her daughter accepts to go and visit her father. The mother was unable ,and deemed it unethical to FORCE her daughter (11) to visit a man who has substantiated allegations of abuse against him.

These are human rights abuses- the kind which happen continuously across North America. These crimes are largely unknown to the public, and hence, to decent, ethical citizens. What is happening to Lorraine Tipton, the mother, and to her daughter ,Michaela , can happen to ANY mother anywhere in North America. (and other continents) It has already happened in numerous unpublished and unknown cases. The Facebook page listed above is a beginning- only- of what one can do- to help these people- and in so doing, help all of us .(humans) Those who support pas/pa type ideas-and /or equal/shared parenting, are opening the door wide open to this kind of continued human rights abuses. Remember Dr.Elizabeth Morgan ? You should. Now remember a little girl whose mother is in jail- right now, in Oconto County, Wisconsin,United States of America.

At the end of October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, members of the men’s movement group RADAR (Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting [2]) gathered on the steps of Congress to lobby against what they say are the suppressed truths about domestic violence: that false allegations are rampant, that a feminist-run court system fraudulently separates innocent fathers from children, that battered women’s shelters are running a racket that funnels federal dollars to feminists, that domestic-violence laws give cover to cage

If all else fails, blokes blame women (The Australian Article)

Cold North Wind, CNW (cnorthwind@gmail.com) thought you might find this article from interesting:
If all else fails, blokes blame women | October 31, 2009 From: The Australian An excellent, balanced viewpoint-out of Australia. IN his deservingly scornful review of the book Iron John, Robert Bly's absurd bible of the men's movement in the US, British author Martin Amis describes the comical pilgrimage made by maladjusted men into the American woods to sniff each other's armpits, channel negative energy into circles of hate and howl at the moon because Mum had them circumcised. Happily, this quest to unleash what Amis ridicules as "the hairy satyr within" does not appear to have any formal and organised equivalent in Australia. This is probably because most Australian men have nothing of any real magnitude to get off their chest, or simply find that the odd night at the pub or the occasional fishing weekend provides ample therapy for any lingering sense of gender injustice. That, and the fact we've got too wry a sense of humour and too much self-awareness to engage in anything that silly.
