well said.
I don't think all males and females are alienated, but sadly there are some among womens groups who appear to be pushing views which tend to alienate as Timkins has been rather regularly (I'll avoid monotonously, he might beat me up :) sharing.

Sadly too, there are some who have gained a bit of personal momentum through the womens (and any) movement who will (like the Unions) struggle for relevance by trying to unearth new issues to base their lives on.

Hopefully natural selection will consign such to the social wood pile :) and we can all get back to the wonderful business of joyfully, respecting and mutually upbuilding relationships with our beloved opposite sex.

- There would be enough evidence to say that the Family Law “system” (not just the Family Court alone) is heavily biased against males, even in the face of enormous evidence that it is essential for children to spend more time with their fathers.

- There is evidence to say that children should be taught by female and male teachers to give diversity (and I know of one headmaster who has had mothers come to him begging that their children be taught by a male teacher for once).

- There is evidence to show that children’s media should have both males and females in it, yet we have Girl TV with almost no males on the show.

Do you see the women’s movement marching in the streets over these issues, that even affect children.

HELL NO.

You have to be particularly naïve to believe that these people are at all interested in gender equality, or even in children’s well being.

And I won’t even mention the lack of complete opposition to highly sordid, debased or sexist comments made about males by other females. Or the lack of opposition to the enormous number of “male-hate” courses so sweetly called “women’s studies” that are being run around the country.

Or opposition to rad-fems such as Greer who called for more divorce in Perth last year (and received a standing ovation for doing so) while so much points to the fact that divorce is tearing apart society.

HELL NO

No opposition what so ever by the women’s movement, OR from the vast majority of women in society either.

TIMKINS
have you by any chance been a victim of the family court yourself ?
U seem to have unrelenting passion about this, which suggests that you have been bludgeoned a bit with the rough end of the stick of life.

Boaz,
The Family Court is just one aspect of an attempt to force males out of society. This attempt is also occurring within education, media, health and also government.

As a male, try writing a letter to a government member about some issue where you feel that males are being discriminated against, and see what type of reply you receive. Why do you think there is no Office of the Status of Men, or no policies for men by any of the major political parties.

Have you seen the statistics for male suicide, or for things such as prostrate cancer? Are these things priorities for governments?

Of course not. Every time someone raises these issues, a member of the women's movement will say that money being spent in these areas is being taken away from women, and the government backs down for fear of loosing the female vote.

Does the women's movement support some of these issues that directly affect males. NOT that I have ever heard of.

Boaz,

If you think that I am talking rot, have a look of this :- Divorce parties for women at
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1474751,00.html

“MUSIC blares from the speakers, partygoers nibble on canapés and the hostess looks resplendent in a little black dress.
Lots of alcohol is consumed with dancing and general bitching about men,” Ms Seal said. “One of the parties had handsome young men in tiny shorts serving canapés and drinks.
Games are a must, according to organisers, with favourites including saucy charades, spicy dice (an X-rated version of the forfeit game) and piñata penis — a woman-only take on the traditional Mexican game.”

Do you hear of the women’s movement opposing such things?

Tim
I'm not saying you are talking rot.. did I say that ? don't think so.
I simply suggested you appear to have been on the rough end of the stick of life mate... in respect of women. Otherwise your passion is a little difficult to understand.
