Vanna <"The lack of studies undertaken is similar to hiding data. It is done to prolong the feminist ideal of children being raised by the mother and the state, with the father removed but paying money to the mother."

I'm sorry to disagree again Vanna, but aren't the decision makers in this country predominantly male- eg in parliament, state and local governments?
Why then are you assuming it is these mysterious 'feminists' who are calling all the shots where family courts/laws etc are concerned?

Isn't it meant to be 50/50 custody arrangements these days?
And aren't the laws changed now so that men and women in broken relationships get a reasonable deal financially, unless they are unreasonable people themselves of course?
Or do you secretly want to go back to the 'good old days' when men 'owned' their children, wife and all marital possessions exclusively?

So what are you complaining about? The bulk of bright couples work out their own arrangements re finances and custody issues, and only a very few aggressive/bitter individuals have to go through acrimonious court battles.

On the one hand you take every opportunity (again and again,
ad nauseum !) to knock all university educated people, and then you call for studies, to prove your anti-female hang-ups, which only university -educated people would be qualified to do.

How very complicated...

Poiriot,
There has been a major study into children’s wellbeing and also mother’s wellbeing.

http://www.fahcsia.gov.au/sa/families/pubs/lsac_report_2009/Pages/6_how_well.aspx

By far the most important factor in children's wellbeing and in mother's wellbeing is finances, and drugs and alcohol play a minor part in children’s wellbeing and in mother’s wellbeing.

I have never know a feminist to get anything right, and the feminist ideal of single parent families and de facto relationships normally ends in financial problems.

Suzanonline,

About 0.0016% of children are killed by their father each year. The leading causes of death to children (discounting abortion) are actually childhood diseases and traffic accidents.

While feminists like to mention “women and their children”, I have yet to hear of a feminist show any concern about childhood diseases or traffic accidents.

The portrayal of fathers as abusers and murderers of children is part of the system of vilification of fathers.

“While feminists like to mention “women and their children”, I have yet to hear of a feminist show any concern about childhood diseases or traffic accidents.”

Well said Vanna and now you mention it I have yet to see them out there saving whales. Not that I’ve seen any dadsonair dudes hooning about the oceans trying to cripple Jap research ships either.

Jewlery,
Don't try and misquote me, or leave something out. You wouldn't be a feminist would you?

The full statement is as follows.

"About 0.0016% of children are killed by their father each year. The leading causes of death to children (discounting abortion) are actually childhood diseases and traffic accidents.

You didn't answer any of my questions above Vanna.
Obviously you couldn't answer them.
Enough said...

Suzanonline,
There is no 50/50. This is a feminist society where people believe that women are wonderfull creatures but badly oppresed by evil dastardly men.

Still waiting on an academic (any academic from any school or university) to make a positive statement about the male gender, because to date they have made almost every possible negative statement about men.

Bring on the gender villification laws I say.

BTW. Why should couples have a "broken relationship", or should someone have a series of "broken relationships".

It sounds like an adolescent feminist's dream.
