No one wins from these gender wars. It is necessary to understand the context that these debates occur in. Mothers' group constantly frame debates as people who care about kids versus fathers. Therefore, discussing abuse by women is a counter argument, not an attack on women.
Fathers are fighting to keep rights that mothers will never lose. Abusevictims Thank-you for illustrating what I meant, when I discussed people choosing to define the best interests of the child in a way that just happens to suit mothers. Posted by benk, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 4:18:09 PM

Whilst some members of this forum, dislike Glenn Sacks he does however have an interesting article at present.
It has to do with alleged sexual abuse. http://glennsacks.com/blog/?p=5036 Meredith Maran's "My Lie" <Psychologists and social workers teamed with writers and publishers to promote the notion urged by feminists that fathers sexually abused their daughters on a regular basis. That much was part and parcel of the feminist decree that the family was the seat of female oppression by males. Feminist extremists> <Then there was the book entitled "The Courage to Heal" which encouraged the hysteria with claims like "if you believe it happened, then it happened." > "My Lie" Why I falsely accused my father. http://www.salon.com/books/int/2010/09/20/meredith_maran_my_lie_interview/index.html Many feminists in this forum claim that they love and care for men, then I must ask them "Why do they allow for misrepresentations, myths and false hoods to continue and not to challange them." To use the latest manipulation technique, "If you dont speak out against abuse, then you are helping to perpetuate it." I fully suspect that many feminist hope that this book, dies a silent quiet death and the women of the media will ignore it so that it slides silently into obscurity.

James, what a courageous woman and what an extraordinary book. I hope it gets the coverage it deserves, but as you say, it will have to get past the gauntlet of the "protectors of the faith" in the media.
I thought this quote was very instructive: "Over time, I had been less and less able to believe her stories, which progressed from incest with a slightly older relative to satanic ritual abuse, to the extent where I thought she was becoming defined as an incest survivor. I knew I couldn't say I don't believe her without examining my own beliefs just because her story is crazier." I suspect that sororal solidarity is a reflexive response for many women. Much that is written by women here is essentially of the form "you go girl, I'm on your side", which can easily become uncritical acceptance of quite egregious positions or claims. In turn, the claimant makes ever-more lurid claims, hoping for ever-more attention. Much of the criticism of the Family Court by the women here is that it is NOT uncritically accepting of such claims. I think that speaks volumes about the motivations of those women.

I would agree that there is a culture of divorce that now fills our Marxist/feminist society.
The following appear on the first page of the Family Relationships website.”-
"arrangements for children after parents separate."
"New laws for the division of property for people in de facto relationships that break down"
"for separating families to sort out these arrangements."
"assist families affected by relationship or separation issues"
"New Commonwealth law for separating de facto couples"
"Property division when de facto relationships break down fact sheet"
http://www.familyrelationships.gov.au/
There is nothing that says anything positive about marriage.
In our Marxist/feminist society, its all about divorce and separation, so when people think of families, they think of divorce and separation.
