I had no idea. As Marxism is dominated by men, how clever of the women Marxists to fool men into believing that "bourgeois family" is just evil and that a patriarchy will lead us all to doom without proper, real men to lead the way while women do what they do best - getting pregnant and raising babies under the guidance of their revered husbands - lest they be tempted to abuse their babies.

Probably after being permitted to vote, the next worse thing was to allow women in universities in courses other than nursing and primary school teaching; gosh, even a secretary (now called a Personal Assistant) can wield much power.

It is so scary - my own mother is a woman! How have I managed to survive, buy my own home and provide for myself all without a good man by my side?

I really have to give your thoughts, Vanna, all the due consideration they deserve.

Many thanks.

However Germaine Greer did make blistering attacks on the nuclear family as do (say) gender feminists and radical feminists. Most women shrug their shoulders, accepting that any movement has its cracked bell(e)s.

Severin,
Most women have no idea of how women or men lived in the past. The stories they hear from feminist are, at best, a bigoted, distorted view to say the least.

But know the history of feminism, and where it came from, and the remnants that we left, which is the view that fathers are only important for paying money to oppressed “woman and their children“.

Great article.

Good luck trying to get the Sydney Morning Hysterical being fair to men though. I mean, what next...male reporters at the ABC?

Many of the feminists of the 1980's era reinforced the idea that fathers were not necessary.

Add to this is what is known as maternal gatekeeping, (do your own google searchs)

Erin Pizzey wrote a discussion paper on the family terrorist, where she wrote that family may even be recieving treatment whilst the terrorist remains undetected.

G'day all...

I believe it was you 'DARK KNIGHT' who stated inter alia, that the AFP should be the responsibile body to pursue Mother's or Father's who unlawfully spirit away their respective children ?

As a retired 'jack' I can assure you the AFP would rate such a crime very much down the list of priorities. Unless the child was from the union of a Politician , a member of the Judiciary, or similar, you've got Buckleys, my friend.

Further, for the edification of everyone, though I've never dealt in matters of family law, both the Husband and Wife are generally equally culpable. And anything to do with either, maltreating or psychologically molestation of a child, in my view is both egregious and abhorrent in the extreme.

The harm occasioned to the mind a child, during the often protracted process by Mum or Dad 'tugging' and vying for the affections of that child, in order to prove a point, exert a legal right, or satisfy an ego - again in my view, amounts to a serious emotional hurt to that child !

Somewhere in the Bible (I'm a 'born again atheist')? Anyway, two women before the King 'bluing' about who had the right to a child...the King suggested in order to settle the arguement, they cut the infant in half, thus each woman had an equal share... ? One of women, who loved the child unconditionally, gave it to the other woman, rather than having the child obviously killed ! So the moral goes ?

The Family Court in this country, tries pretty hard, in probably the most onerous and demanding jurisdiction in Law. Where there is generally no winner, and many many losers ! You may get a favourable ruling/judgement, but you still may not win in the long term ?
