It is more than a little refreshing to see this topic finally making Right Blogosphere, especially complete with an interview of one of equal parenting right’s champions, Glen Sacks, and hosted by the lovely and talented Instawife– er, Dr. Helen. I always hoped this day would arrive, and here it is. Please, go get this topic, Helen and Glen Reynolds, and go ye and do likewise libertarian-conservative bloggers of all shapes and sizes.
Because this is tyrannical socialism – at its core, there’s no other way to see it.
By now we should (and must) all know that what’s happening in our own statehouse and in DC is a dedicated effort to remold society itself by way of bogus gender feminist dogma. While the chicken and egg question remains, it’s clear that at least much cause as effect is occurring daily in every burg in the country. The cause is indeed profit coupled with radical gender feminism and the effect is a vast incentive to break up the family.
Let me repeat that just to be sure all you reading this get it loud and clear: Your government is, at the behest of powerful special interests, conspiring to deprive your children of at least one parent, typically dad. To the gender feminist, dad is subhuman. To the family trial lawyer, either parent is prey.
Sound melodramatic? Let’s take a brief view of the money trail:
In family law, as Sacks highlights, there is no set of effective constitutional rights available to the litigant. This makes fertile ground for arbitrary proclamations, the kind of which handsomely serve both interests I just highlighted. In family law, there is no jury. In family law, there is a link between the judge, through the local legal association, to the lawyer, and from both to and within the legislature.
Got that? The divorce industry in your area almost certainly has trial lawyers and gender feminists lobbying your legislature, many times along with your local family court judges (against your state’s constitution, probably) for ongoing sovereignty over the division of your family.
Think you’re immune? Tell me, by what legal right? Can you define your rights, thoroughly, legally, absolutely? Do you think you have the right to due process, presumption of innocence, a right to property, children, the sanctity of your own home? Again, by what right that you can name? The Constitution? Forget about it.
In family law, you have no rights. In family law, you are dispensed with at the hands of strangers, and with you, your children and your family. You will have no meaningful say. You will take what you’re given.
From there, the aftermath speaks for itself: Approximately 85% of all divorces with children award the custody to mom, complete with large monthly cash awards. Approximately 90% of all divorces are initiated by women, at least according to a prominent female researcher speaking some years ago.
These stats are simply the result of severe anti-father, anti-male bias corrupting the entire legislative and judiciary chain of command. In your state.
For verification of these simple facts, I recommend the reader to Glen Sack’s extensive back library, to Dr. Stephen Baskerville, to Wendy McElroy and company at iFeminists, and the balance of the growing national voice speaking against institutionalized gender bias.
Divorce and custody is an industry that depends on, well, divorce and custody to make its billions. The tentacles run back upstream into Washington DC where they receive enormous incentive by liberal kickbacks to the states from federal government for every child support dollar collected. They involve the NOW, Joe Biden’s VAWA, the DHHS, welfare and TANF, and virtually every level of social government.
Single parenting pays. Single parenting is motivated by trial lawyers and gender feminists. Your government is leveraged up by these entities to destroy homes. It’s today’s effective law and it violates all the moral standards you thought protected you and yours.
If you want to change it, you can; easily, in fact. Get to your state capitol and meet the enemy. Then act.
