WOMEN ARE PIGS
The Feminist agenda to dominate or terminate Fatherhood
"Considering the nature and pervasiveness of men's violence, I would say that without question,
children are better off being raised without the presence of men."
--Daphne Patai
Professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst
Now that I have your attention, here's the disclaimer... this is not a slam piece on all women... I love women. But it sounds pretty sick doesn't it...? Women are pigs... such a generalized statement about more than half the world's population... over 3 billion humans of the female persuasion. And if you're an idiot, you might actually believe I really think all women are pigs. But, if you have even half a brain or any sort of cognitive intelligent thought patterns, you might understand the irony in my statement. It's the same damn thing I've been hearing my entire life from the feminist movement, that all men are pigs. Ever heard that one before...? Men are all pigs... ? I'm sure you have.
And it's nothing more than stereotypical gender profiling. It's nothing more than hate-speech. It's nothing more than an attempt by certain elements of the female population to brand all males and all fathers as destructive, dirty, animalistic, and evil. Of course if a man complains about equal rights... he's whining. If a woman complains... she's a victim. (And we all know how much Liberals love to exploit minority victims... it's what's kept Teddy "The Lady Killer" Kennedy in office for so long.)
For years now, I've witnessed a disturbing trend which seems to have grown into yet another outright Leftist agenda-driven, society accepted, double-standard. The Leftist dominated media has been purposefully and systematically devaluing Fatherhood, and masculinity in general, for decades now... on television shows, in movies, in commercials, and especially in their biased Liberal "news" reports. Anytime fathers are in the scene or on the screen, 99 times out of 100 they're portrayed as less than intelligent, and they inevitably have to turn to the much smarter, always prepared Mother for help. Today, of course, the old Dad-centered universe has become the biggest and easiest joke on television, with yesterday's paternalistic models the standard object of ridicule and scorn. Almost every father on the TV is a blithering idiot. We've gone from Robert Young in, "Father Knows Best," to Ray Romano in, "Everybody Loves Raymond," the quintessential idiot father. And if the father isn't shown to be an idiot like Ray, then he's an asshole like Ray's father, Frank. Fathers are portrayed more often than not as either stupid and inept, or hateful and mean.
"I feel that 'man-hating' is an honorable and viable political act,
that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them."
-- Robin Morgan, Editor of Ms. Magazine
The most recent example of this blatant Feminist agenda against Fatherhood, comes masquerading as thinly veiled, informative mainstream "journalism." In an article in the June 18th edition of TIME Magazine, entitled... "Daddy Dearest... Father's Day salutes the world's great dads, but it takes science to explain why some aren't so great," two champions of feminist dogma, Sarah B. Hrdy, an anthropology professor at UC Davis (Leftist college) and Mary Batten, a successful man-hating author, actually have the gall to question whether or not fathers have earned the right to their own holiday... "What's less clear is whether dads- at least as a group- have done a good enough job to deserve the honor [of Father's Day]" Now, when was the last time you saw an article questioning Motherhood in any way...?
Give me a break... Daddy Dearest...? Right off, before I'm even into the article, the title equates fathers with a WOMAN and MOTHER who physically and mentally abused her children into submission... with no help from a man I might add. And who the hell asked these ditsy twits to explain father's anyway...? The article is in the "behavior," section, under the guise of a "science," report. Poorly written by two Boomer feminists desperately trying to perpetuate their tired anti-father rhetoric, who simply threw together a few facts about monkeys in a sad attempt to analyze why, "some animal fathers are more nurturing dads than many men are." And in the process, as they state quite clearly... they judge us as a group... the tens-of-millions of American fathers... all lumped into one group of absentee pigs. But wait... weren't we supposed to be judging people by the content of their character... rather than the color of their skin, or their gender...???
The two female experts on Fatherhood also put forth this little gem. "Good fathering is a varied and highly sustainable resource - one that's just waiting to be tapped." What kind of crap is that...? Their kind has been tearing down the institution of Fatherhood for 40 years now, and they continue to try and do so with this insipid little piece. They danced around the page with tid-bits of scientific jargon, trying to prove their case that father's are never around. However, they conveniently ignored facts about what fathers are going through in the court systems and they glossed over any kind idea that men might not be around because of the women who bore their children. There wasn't even one mention of the horrors that many mothers in this "equal," society have put their children through.
Each year the federal Administration for Children and Families surveys child protective service (CPS) agencies around the country to spot the latest trends in child abuse. And according to the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, women are the most common abusers of children. In 2003, females, usually mothers, represented 58% of perpetrators of child abuse and neglect, with men composing the remaining cases. In that same year an estimated 1,500 children died of abuse or neglect. In 31% of those cases, the perpetrator was the mother acting alone, compared to 18% of fathers acting alone. (Source)

There are many cases that could have been brought up in defense of fathers... Heather Thomas of Fairfax, VA was arrested in 2006, in the shaking death of her 6-day-old granddaughter. On Christmas Day Valerie Kennedy held her son in a tub of scalding water as punishment, causing his death. A few days later Genevieve Silva was arrested in Oklahoma on child rape charges for luring a high school student to run away from home. And can anybody forget Andrea Yates...? The Texas woman who drowned her own five children... killing them all. When a man commits abuse, it seems the story is splashed all over the front page and all over the TV news. But when the perpetrator is a member of the fairer sex, the story is put in the Local Police Report section... on page C16
"I believe that women have a capacity for understanding and compassion which man structurally does not have, does not have it because he cannot have it. He's just incapable of it."
-- Barbara Jordan, Former U.S. Congresswoman.
"The care of children ..is infinitely better left to the best trained practitioners of both sexes who have chosen it as a vocation...[This] would further undermine family structure while contributing to the freedom of women."
--Kate Millet, Sexual Politics
The two feminists writing for TIME completely ignored what fathers are forced to deal with after divorce. Family courts routinely reach the farthest into the private lives of individuals and families. “The family court is the most powerful branch of the judiciary,” writes Robert W. Page, Presiding Judge of the New Jersey Family Court. By their own assessment, “the power of family court judges is almost unlimited.” One father was told by a New Jersey judicial investigator: “The provisions of the US Constitution do not apply in domestic relations cases.”
50% of mothers see no value in the father's continued contact with his children.

A father brought before these courts – in the absence of any civil or criminal wrongdoing – will immediately have his movements, finances, personal habits, conversations, purchases, and contact with his children all subject to inquiry and control by the court. He must submit to questioning about his private life that author Jed Abraham has termed an “interrogation.” He must surrender personal papers, diaries, correspondence, and financial records. His home can be entered at any time. His visits with his children can be monitored by court officials and restricted to a “supervised visitation center,” for which he must pay an hourly fee and where he and his children will be observed and overheard throughout their time together. Anything he says to his spouse or children, as well as to family counselors and personal therapists, can be used against him in court, and his children can be used to inform on him. Fathers are questioned about how they “feel” about their children, what they do with them, where they take them, how they kiss them, how they feed and bathe them, what they buy for them, and what they discuss with them. He will be forced, on pain of incarceration, to pay for lawyers and psychotherapists he has not hired. His name will be entered on a federal registry, his wages will be garnisheed, and the federal government will have access to all his financial records. If he refuses to cooperate he can be summarily incarcerated or ordered into a psychiatric examination.
40% of mothers reported that they had interfered with the father's visitation to punish their ex-spouse.

Speaking from personal experience... fathers don't mean a damn thing to the State of Kansas. A mother can walk into court, bold faced, and lie straight to the judge about anything she feels necessary to attain what she wants. A father has no say in where the children reside, attend school or daycare, worship, or visit the doctor and dentist. He has no right to see their school or medical records nor any control over what medications or drugs are administered to them. He can be enjoined from taking his children to a physician when ill. He can be told what religious services he may (or must) attend, what he may do with them, and what subjects he may discuss with them in private. And he can be forced to pay two-thirds or more of his income as "child support."
A presumption of guilt pervades child support enforcement where “the burden of proof may be shifted to the defendant” according to one ruling. In clear violation of the Constitution it has been held that “not all child support contempt proceedings classified as criminal are entitled to a jury trial,” and “even indigent obligors are not necessarily entitled to a lawyer.”
In the State of Kansas... they've set up the Kansas Payment Center, where the government has all child support payments sent first... so they can skim their take off the top of the hard earned dollars which are then sent on the children. What gets taken out of my check, directly, and sent to the KS Payment Center is not what arrives on the check at my ex-wife's house. So the State of Kansas is profiting off of child support and putting the screws to the hard working fathers who actually follow through on their responsibilities. And setting child support is a political process conducted by interest groups involved in collection but from which parents who pay the support are excluded. Such legislating by courts and enforcement agencies raises serious questions about the separation of powers and the constitutionality of the process. Where officials in all branches and at all levels of government develop a financial interest in hunting “delinquents,” it is predictable that they will create delinquents to hunt. Kansas just passed a law recently which says a "deadbeat dad," can have his drivers license taken away if he misses a few payments... but of course there is no law which mandates the recipient of the child support provide any type of itemization as to where the support actually goes.

As a real man... a deliberate man, a gentleman and a father... I am offended by the notion that we don't "deserve," a day to celebrate Fatherhood. I will be the first to admit that a great many men have been horribly abusive, murderous and outright evil towards women since the beginning of time. Hell the goddamned Islamic Fascists are still killing women in the name of God. And yet, Nancy Pelosi the big San Francisco Liberal... the feminist who broke the marble ceiling to get to the top of Congress... will put on a head scarf in the face of REAL oppression.
I know that some men are definitely pigs... I've had to deal with a few myself. But rather than write an article about the positive things American fathers do for their kids everyday... or even a piece about their own fathers... In true Liberal biased form TIME Magazine is right in step with the Leftists... and they took the low road. The helped perpetuate the dark, hateful, insidious, anti-man, anti-father agenda still being perpetrated by the feminists of today. Typically, but not surprisingly, important facts and figures were left out of the article, in their usual attempt to make their story fit the templates. And what gets me is that these two writers... these elitist Pigs... they truly believe all this horrible crap their kind has been writing about men since the 1960's. It's really sad.
Feminism may have "liberated," women... but in the process they've attempted to destroy a generation of men. In an effort to change girls... they've attempted to destroy boys. As a man who is part of a generation raised by women... I'm awful tired of hearing these same women bash men all the time. It's hard enough trying to be a father, to be involved in your kid's lives and keep them safe when they're deliberately moved to a town an hour down the highway, by their hate-filled mother... it's hard enough trying to be a father, without having to listen to the feminazi rhetoric. But rather then dwell too much on the idiots of the world... I believe I'll go enjoy the rest of Father's Day with my beautiful children, and thank God the State still allows me to see them... for their sake.
