Whoever said that fathers who abuse etc are getting custody needs to stand back and look at the facts...I've never heard of a single instance of any such thing - and with the current climate of accepting anything a woman says as 'abuse' - there is no yardstick by which to judge at all anyway!

I said it and my sisters ex beat her in front of the children then took custody of the children.She even has to pay him maintenance! He beat the crap out of her. Put her in hospital. That abuse enough for you? Geez are you saying no women get abused? What kind of bubble do you live in?

Quote:

Fathers rarely get custody overall.

You need to back that up because nearly every custody battle i know of the father has gotten custody (unless the father doesnt WANT custody which is sometimes the case). One didnt. Hmm thats seems to be a bit of a pendulum swing dont you think?

ABS

In April 1997, there were 978,000 Australian children who were living with one natural parent and who had a natural parent living elsewhere. The vast majority (88%) lived with their natural mother.

Things must have changed in a hurry…

Roll Eyes

Thats more than 10 years. Not that much of a hurry. And why should i believe you anyway?

SOB

It’s from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Jeez - what bubble do YOU live in? I've known one custodial father in years. Grin

And what happened? Are there any who lost a custody battle where they wanted custody? And what was the reason given if so? Can you back up your claim that the system is biased towards woman or not?

Yeah but:-

a) have you ever noticed that figures like this are very hard to find these days? I collect statistics for certain things that are pretty non-PC - and you will not be amazed to find that they are not readily available - a bit like my Service records....

I run Australia's Wrongfully Convicted - and I've had open stats on crime resolution rates before from 1976 to about 2005 (from memory) - but they have vanished now....

b) He-e-e-y - let's go international here.....just for the sake of it....

If the current feminist barrow is Internationalism - let's all bite the cherry......might as well enjoy it before the petroleum-free world closes down again and we are running coal-fired ships......

"Truly, my son - in generations past, men and women flew in huge birds five miles high at five hundred miles an hour and with 500 people on board for 5000 miles! Now go tend the horses"....

I support equality but in my view the reality is that the feminist movment hurt more woman and families particularly than it helped as unfortunate as that is.

Is that because you couldn't wear shorts when you burnt your bra DNA?

No its more because many Women lost the right to choose to stay home and look after their children.

It is because the big winners out of the feminist movement have been corporations who now get two workers from a family for the price of one. To move towards wage equality has meant as much a real money wage drop for men as an increase for woman. At the end of the day the biggest overall impact has been that one average male wage will no longer pay the bills for an average family.

For many Women the idea was the option to work but the reality for most has become the necessity to work.

Women went after choice but got a swap of the mandatory option. They have gone from working not being a viable option to where not working has become not a viable option while in terms of total family income the benefit has been negligible.

Singles and career women are in front but the average female has paid dearly for the few to benefit.

I support the principals and am dissapointed that it has been an abject failure.

And this is down to Feminism? Surely you speak of economic pressures here.
After all, isn't greed and economic rationalism the raison d'etre of NOW.? Women are not exempt from these pressures.

Seems you lay all the ills of the world on Feminism's doorstep.

Get real!, pussy, or is that Mouse????
Nice to have more than half the world's pop. to blame eh? Huh
