The Problem
Why do so many fathers in the Western
World live their lives in the comforting belief that they live in a
Democracy which has sexual equality -- until suddenly they lose their
house and their children, and find that they had been living in a dream-world
?
In a courtroom, everyone expects that there should be a lawyer for
the Defence, as well as a lawyer for the Prosecution. Why,
then, are Western countries teeming with tax-funded agencies that attack
men, with virtually no tax-funded agencies to defend men (or attack
women) ?
The answer to both questions is the same: the West has been captured
by Feminist ideology, which is pro-women and anti-male. According to
this ideology, men are the oppressors, the enemy -- so it is a contradiction
in terms for men/fathers to be oppressed or disadvantaged. Therefore,
the Establishment sees no need to end the oppression that men/fathers
experience through the Legal System.
The Mirage-Solution
It is little use for us in the Men's/Fathers' Movement pinning
our hopes on law-changes, because:
- The anti-male climate will allow only minimal, cosmetic changes
that benefit fathers;
- The Law will continue to be administered in an anti-male spirit,
because of the prevailing ideology.
The Real Solution
This is the real solution, in my view:
- Continue pressing for law changes -- not because
we think we will achieve much law-change in the medium term, but because
the process of trying to change the law
allows us to publicise man-hatred, and thereby to undermine it;
- Pressing for changes in the personnel, in
the training of the personnel, and in other aspects of the system
(police, courts, prisons, probation service, etc.) which administers
so-called "justice";
- Most importantly, countering
anti-male propaganda with pro-male and even anti-female information,
because male self-esteem has been badly damaged in the West, which
is now full of wimps who will never argue with a woman.
This solution must be pursued using both theoretical
analysis and activist protests of various kinds. Theoretical analysis
is vital, because that is how we will get influential, thinking people
onto our side. Activist protests are also vital, because unless men/fathers
are willing to make an impact and make sacrifices for the cause, the
media and the politicians will not take us seriously.
