Just reading a paper the other day that judges are coming around to the idea that slicing a kid in half isn’t good for the kid. Kids need a stable environment, and moving house and school district every 6 months fits no reasonable definition of “stable”. It does, however, fit the definition for “control freaky parents who use their kid as a way to seek revenge against their ex and generally fuck with their kid’s emotional well-being”.

No, both parents do not “have to be involved with the kid’s life” if that involvement creates instability. This is about what’s best for the child, remember?

I don’t like calling people assholes and leaving it there, because it doesn’t raise anyone’s consciousness to do that, but ya know, on a Friday, when we let our hair hang down just a little bit (or some of us wicked women, I hear, spend too much time at those Feminist Bars!!!), I can do with a bit of calling an asshole an asshole…and he can stay hit as far as I’m concerned…

Males can be a violent, dangerous, terrible species, and usually only become decent and outwardly civilised through the intense process of socialising in the patriarchal family.

Men are evll and can’t be trusted, therefore they must be trusted?

i read the link to the irish independent. i really, really wish i hadn’t. what the HELL?

So I think this guy has the right cause, but he`s defending it for the wrong reasons. His speech is just full of prejudice. “Women don’t know how to deal with equality”??? What’s with these guys that always think they know how WE are supposed to feel? He’s the one who can’t deal with equality as he’s whining about losing some of his privilege.

Also, he has that ridiculous way of thinking: “kids without fathers turn gay”. That is stupid on so so many levels. First, there’s no scientific evidence for this. Second, my father’s father died before he was born… And he’s straight! Duh. Many boys have single mothers and they don’t “turn” gay because of that. Actually, that’s what’s most stupid about it: the thought that people can just “turn” gay. As if it was something lying underneath all boys and then something as small as playing with a doll could trigger it. If that was true, then their argument that homosexuality is “unnatural” would not apply — otherwise there would be no need to reinforce “macho” behavior so much. AHA! Gotcha! Stupid ass.

Also, I don’t hear people saying that girls raised only by their fathers will become lesbians. On the contrary: they would become “decent” and “respectful” women! So that shows that people like this politician are more mysoginists than homophobics. The bottomline is that don’t want their sons to “turn” gay because he’d be acting “more like a woman”.

This makes me so so mad.

“Seeing as we live in an extremist feminist state, the entire system is unjust, including the courts, welfare services, the police, and the government,” he told Ynet. “The feminists are destroying every good part of this country. A country that doesn’t respect its men has no right to exist.”

When asked regarding his thoughts on equality between the genders he said, “In the past I was pro-equality, but I’ve seen that women don’t know how to accept equality. If you’re good they try to take over. I know this from the 20 years we’ve existed.”

I bet this guy doesn’t get many dates.

I’m guessing that he’s a big admirer of the Saudi Arabian view on women’s rights.

Oh, right. I forgot about that entire generation that turned OMG-GAY during the four years that Golda Meir was Prime Minister of Israel.

And ugh.
