They think it is horrible and they want to block it as swiftly as possible. They spent decades removing father’s rights, and now men have the audacity to try to take them back? Feminists are nothing more than Female Supremacists and it is by definition a hate group, so they do not want to lose one bit of their ill-gotten power. Milktoast

It’s not growing. It’s just bitter guys who didn’t get their way and no longer have control over their ex wives. One hundred years ago women got nothing in the divorce, not even the children. Laws were changed, and rightly so, to protect women from this kind of crime. So these men just don’t like that they don’t have absolute privilege anymore. Wee Willie

Obviously feminists oppose it. Feminists seek to advance women’s rights alone at the expense of men. They oppose any action which would diminish the tremendous advantage women have over men in marriage, divorce, custody and the court system. Quat

I think that it is good in most instances. I cannot speak for another country, but here in Canada I think that for too long fathers have taken a back seat to the detriment of their children. In my professional experience, I have witnessed many times parents using the children as tools of revenge. Although I have seen this occur on both sides, I think that women using the children against the father in a retaliatory manner happens moreso than the reverse. This is because courts often favour the children staying with the mother.
In Canada, we are moving towards a less adversarial court process that is in the best interests of the CHILDREN. Both parents need to realize that their actions greatly impact the children negatively and every concession should be made to protect the children from this. It is about the children folks and parents embroiled in custody/access cases often times forget or are oblivious to how their children are fairing.
As a social worker and a feminist, I put the best interests of the children at the forefront of concern where sometimes parents fail to see how they are negatively impacting the kids. Children need both parents and for far too long, fathers have been getting the short end of the stick in this regard.
EDIT: TD? LOL yes, I know f*ck the children! get a grip. mischiefsw

I think divorce and family law cases can be messy, but it sounds like quite a few men are angry that their money is going towards their ex-wives, and child custody is the last thing they want. Some men are getting screwed, just like some women, but it sounds as though quite a few men think the money they made was theirs and should always be theirs, and they are absolutely livid that their ex actually has control over their income. I think the men’s movement is not growing, but the number of people who are angry is increasing.
I don’t see how these men can be so naive, that they are not aware of the risks of marriage and having kids-if I saw the risks, why are there so many clueless people who act like they had no idea that their marriage can end in divorce, and that if they make more money, they’ll be supporting their kids the rest of their lives? Are people really this dumb? edith clarke
