It didn’t take long before the words “abusive” and “loveless” and “patriachial” were being mentioned with the word “father”.

It is routine feminist propaganda practice to use such words when mentioning fathers, similar to Hitler attempting to match the word “Jew” with “vermin”.

Interesting that so many fathers are being denied proper contact with their children, yet they are not in jail, they have broken no laws, they are allowed to walk down the street, and of course, they are allowed to work and pay their child support.

Those vermin fathers are always good for something.

Well suzionline,

I do not share your trust in the ability of the family law court system to get it right. I have much personal experience in the Court spectrum which includes the Family Law Court of Australia. The reality is that justice tends to follow the money.

Sadly, we as the gullible public, too often draw conclusions on face value and on information supplied; one natural consequence of being human is the tendency for sympathy.

So in the case of Ken Robertson and his push bike ride around Europe for two and a half years, the funding of the venture has to be an issue. Who can afford to feed themselves while on a two and a half year odyssey? The rich can!

Also, the other fact pointing to money is his past occupation as deputy fire commissioner, delivering a handsome pay check. At one interview he commenented to the journalist, in answer to the question “what are your feelings now towards your ex wife”? Robertson implied; (after wasting two and a half years of his life chasing her across the countryside in Europe), that he showed no antipathy at all towards her. For me, that answer is a marker for evil!

Clearly there is more to this story than is reported by the media - a mother in obvious fear, a father determined to retrieve his son. Very sad and my thoughts are with the young boy at the centre of this strangle of a triangle.

Of course, it is all the fault of evil, evil feminists for demanding that men pay for the upkeep of the children they have sired - if women would just get on with producing children and stop this incessant whine about equal opportunity, that biological fathers should contribute to the welfare their children... Next feminists will expect the men in their lives to bond with their kids and spend time with them in activities(!), instead of going to the pub or watching porn on the internet. World is going to hell while women expect parity with the menfolk.

Poor Vanna, shut out of universities, prevented from proving his claims that universities are hotbeds of Marxist Lesbians bent on world domination.

When will the truth out?

Real men like Tony Abbott or Chris Pyne never attended universities did they? Else they would be pussy-whipped and subjugated to their wives' every whim, wouldn't they?

Just look at Rupert Murdoch - no influence over a supermarket sales catalogue let alone a media empire.

Such a sad time for men - no power or influence whatsoever.

'Of course, it is all the fault of evil, evil feminists for demanding that men pay for the upkeep of the children they have sired - if women would just get on with producing children and stop this incessant whine about equal opportunity, that biological fathers should contribute to the welfare their children...

A ridiculous comment, especially on a thread with an author and many contributors wanting recognition of fathers and lobbying for the rights of fathers to see their kids.

There is NOBODY here complaining about paying for the upkeep of their kids, just the opposite in fact.

'Next feminists will expect the men in their lives to bond with their kids and spend time with them in activities'
The men here are desperate for just that, it's the feminists that were only interested in men as wallets as far as I can gather from the posters here.

'instead of going to the pub or watching porn on the internet.'
A nice characterise of the 'average' man, who chooses these activities in preference to and in neglect of their children? Or perhaps a vicious slur on the male posters here? Either way, it says a lot about you Fractelle.

The word 'satire' is completely lost on you, isn't it, Houllie?

As opposed to vanna who is the paragon of impartial analysis.
