The Suffragettes were around for more than 100 years.

In Australia Louisa Lawson was the mother of Suffragettes before the 1880's and her major accomplishment was, not getting the vote, but lobbying the Federationists to ensure they included the Married Womens Property Acts of Victorian and South Australia in the Federation in 1901.

Women voted Federally first in 1903.

While you lot lose your historical perspective you'll always struggle ... for only those who know the truths of the past can see more clearly the future.

Oh and for the record, I'm male and raised my children from an early age by myself.

And as a man I can tell you all that men are not cut out to undertake such a demanding task.

My teachers in that art were other mothers I encountered at school P and C's, swimming clubs, music groups, Little Athletics, Surf Clubs, supermarkets and Post Offices. They taught me the things I needed to know to remain in control and sane.

Rarely did I encounter rabid Feminazis or understanding males anywhere.

And obviously they are not here iin this article or discussion.

None of you have anywhere near the understanding of the position of the real women, and sometimes men, who will determine the role and position of women in our future society.

For it's the hand that rocks the cradle ...

Dead right, Suzeonline.
What did you think of them backing off further inquiries into the death of Mulrunji, in today's papers?
You so right about indigenes, even a cursory read through the history books shows how gross this history can be and now where more so than with aboriginal women, where there also seems to have been a sadistic element involved.
Sickening.

Firstly Keith, congradulations, my fathers best man, also wound up raising his children by himself in an era when men worked and women stayed home and kept house and looked after the children.

Having been a member of mens groups on and off over the years, I have met other men who were house husbands, and typically parents will exchange information and hints in regards to certain things.

Some people will be willing to help and others not so.

Ever heard of maternal gatekeeping?

Long before I discovered research on the subject, I had already observed and became aware of how it worked.

Until recently I had forgotten that there was another level of male wage in some industries,there was the single man's wage and a married man's wage. Recognising the fact that married men had more mouths to support.

Poiriot,
I have given facts in a previous post about mothers that are easily gathered from newspaper reports and general government and medical reports.

When combining together several sets of facts, the situation is that motherhood in this country is in a deplorable or abysmal state, as there are few other words to describe it.

Keith,
"And as a man I can tell you all that men are not cut out to undertake such a demanding task. "

You can only speak for yourself,

I found childraising easy compared to many other tasks, but it would be much easier with two parents.

Some data is being gathered in the US on single parent fathers, and it does appear that children being raised by single parent fathers are doing better than children being raised by single parent mothers.

The single parent fathers are more likely to earn more money, and less likely to be on welfare, while at the same time they are spending almost the same parenting time with their children as single parent mothers.

So if we are too live in a feminist society where men and women cannot live together, then it may be better for children to be raised by their fathers.

Tell me Vanna how did you feel when your child was hurting and they ran to the nearest female for comfort?
