By Warwick Marsh, published 4/9/2009

Call it a renewal of fatherhood, family revival or a love revolution, but whatever you call it, it is happening.

'SELFISH, SELFISH, SELFISH.IS ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE. Its all about money and the rights of the mother, it's nothing about the rights of the child.'

Could you speak up, mate? I can't hear you.

Seriously, though ... Get a grip. You're spewing misogynist venom and women can see misogynist venom for what it is, even if they have been conditioned since birth to pretend it doesn't exist.

What really saddens me about men like you and the others here who unapologetically vent their spleen on cue at the horrible deal life has handed them at the hands of a system supposedly corrupted by women's insatiable sloth and greed is that you actually WANT and NEED a woman to love you.

Go for it, mate(s). But I can tell you now that this contemptuous attitude gets you nowhere with the female gender except a lot of heartache and rejection that you don't have the depth or insight to understand. A woman will go along with it for a while because she has been conditioned since birth to need her knight in shining armour, but in the end she'll leave ... with an angry, violent trail in her wake.

But ... hey. It's not the menz' fault. Because, in a patriarchy, love means men never have to say they're sorry.

I thought Warwick's article had some stimulating and challenging thoughts within. Bishop Al Stewarts quote was spot on and I think our society has a love deficit. This is something we need to get back to - people having a sense of being loved and the capacity to love. It's time we took stock, stopped for a minute and considered the important things and started to reorder our life towards these things. Good on Warwick for daring to speak some sense!

Hearing from some of the responses it's disappointing and not hard to tell which ones didn't have a great relationship with their fathers or mothers for that case.I'm glad that I had a great dad(step dad) even though he has gone to heaven 12 years ago now. He has left me with memories that I'll never forget. Being a dad now I want to leave that impression on my kids as well.Enjoy life,Harm no one, Be good, do your best and know where you are going...oh and if you are a parent Be a Great dad or Great mum!

We now have another stolen generation. Who is going to say sorry to them? I would not like to be in a situation with all these broken families. My children are going to have a bad enough time trying to find love and happiness for the rest of their lives. So they might think. Nothing is forever anymore, if you’re not happy just move onto the next person with emotional baggage. No one wants to work out what’s wrong in a situation; it’s just faster to separate and more profitable for the woman. I am sorry this is starting to sound one sided.

All these journalists think that it’s so easy to have a father’s day, but don’t stop to think what’s happing with the psychological side of the Childs mind, let alone what is ripping a father up inside when he can’t see his children.

Yes it goes both ways with both parents, but when you look at it, there are more fathers that don’t see their children through no fault of their own. Only an ex wife seems to have that power to take away the children through lies and deception, if you go to court and prove her wrong she doesn’t even get a rap over the knuckles, but turn the table and then see what happens.

Yes no one is perfect. But who is? Everyone is learning in this life.
There is NO equality in this life as far as I’m concerned.

Just one more thing, could it be possible that the reason that there are more problems with in society that the Family Law is an ASS and doesn’t work, let alone work in the best interest of the children at hand.

But wait, there's more!

I generally welcome new commenters here, but I'd be more inclined to treat this obvious cheer squad's contributions with respect if at least one of them was honest.

'Fess up now, newbies - you were directed here by someone, in order to support Warwick Marsh's article, weren't you?

CJ I am confused, it’s okay though as it is my natural state and I am comfortable with it.

So there are new users here to support this article… why though? It’s not even that interesting, sorry dude but it was just a bit of fluff.

Is it to push the whole “oh woe is me I am a divorced father and the bitch has the kids and the more I look I can see amazons everywhere”?

The “Stolen Generation” comment was a tad sickening though. I came pretty close to remarking on that one in a very bleaty way then pulled myself back.

Is this really a bleat about not enough people saying Happy Fathers Day?

Why on earth are they here?
