Septembre mois des belles touffes
Ramdam à La Gazette des femmes
AUJOURD'HUI C'EST LE 9 SEPTEMBRE ET LE NUMÉRO DE SEPTEMBRE-OCTOBRE DE LA GAZETTE DES FEMMES N'EST TOUJOURS PAS EN KIOSQUE.
Ce n'est jamais disponible à la date fixée ce torchon là mais cette fois-ci on sent qu'on n'attend pas pour rien. Vous verrez bien que le prochain numéro sera particulièrement imbécile. On y lira encore une fois combien les hommes sommes des monstres sanguinaires et combien les femmes sont de pauvres petites choses sans intelligence qui subissent tout ce qu'on leur impose. Non vraiment, si j'étais féministe je ferais rouiller les presses sur lesquelles le papier-cul glacé est imprimé. Heureusement que je suis un méchant masculiniste haineux. La Gazette des femmes j'aime bien. C'est misogyne à souhait.

A activists letter to John Tory, the leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party, running for election as Ontario Premier in October.
Dear Mr. Tory,
The letter appended to the end of this email was posted on one of the many web discussion groups devoted to fathers' issues. I think the letter sums up very well the questions and feelings that the great majority of fathers from all over Ontario have after they have been raped by the Ontario Family Law Courts.
Fathers are starting to react in many different ways to the systemic discrimination against them in the Family Law Courts of Ontario. The father who wrote this letter is thinking about taking a path that more and more fathers are starting to see as the only way out......
"Watch me lose my life. I don't care anymore..."
Is this really what the Ontario Family Law Courts are driving fathers to??? Is this really what you, should you become Premier, want to hear from thousands of Ontario fathers???
Statistics show that over 200 fathers each year in Ontario who are ensnared in the destruction wrought by the Ontario Family Law Courts commit suicide.
"Watch me lose my life. I don't care anymore..."
Mr. Tory, listen to the pain in the father’s voice. Listen to the hopelessness in his voice. Mr. Tory, listen to the anguished cries for help from thousands of blameless fathers all over Ontario who have been destroyed emotionally and financially by the Family Law Courts of Ontario.
"Watch me lose my life. I don't care anymore..."
Mr. Tory, I work on a totally volunteer basis with, and try to help, fathers all over Ontario who have been victimized by the Ontario Family Law System. I have read hundreds of letters like this. I have spoken personally to dozens of fathers who feel this same pain, anguish, and hopelessness. Mr. Tory, are you aware that there are NO government programs or funds available to support fathers in Ontario. There are millions of dollars available to support every other interest and lobby group imaginable – just so long as you are not trying to help fathers.
"Watch me lose my life. I don't care anymore..."
Isn't it time that the Ontario Family Law system was changed so that Ontario fathers can care again? Isn’t it time that the Ontario Family Law system was changed so that it is fair and just to Ontario fathers? Isn’t it time that the destruction of Ontario fathers by the Ontario Family Law system became an ELECTION issue? I know that I won’t be voting for any candidate that supports the status quo regarding the Ontario Family Law system. I know of thousands of other Ontario fathers who feel the same way.
Mr. Tory, I am one of the Ontario fathers who has been systemically and repeatedly savaged by the Ontario Family Law system.

So the child support agency is trying to get money off men for child support. The problems that are obvious to men are:
1. Where is my child support going?
2. Why should I pay child support if I can’t even see my child when I want to?
3. I can see my child every second weekend. Wow! I used to see them every day. I used to be part of their life. So why does the court say every second weekend? What a load of rubbish. Why can’t I pay child support for the time I have with my child then?
4. So you are going to take it out of my pay. I have just been kicked out of the house that I worked for, sometimes 7 days a week. Where am I going to live? How am I going to pay my rent? I don't want to rent anyway. So you are going to take money out of my net pay? What’s that leave me? Do you really think I am going to work overtime now? NO way. Do you think I want a job now? NO way. Do you think I want a career path now? NO way. I haven't got my house, I haven't got my kids and you want to take my hard earned money out of my net pay?
Well watch me lose my job.Watch me lose my life.
I don't care any more so you will not win…
Children's Aid
A failed concept failing our children
By Bob D. Douglas*
There are several government and government controlled agencies involved in our broken system of child protection in Ontario which range from the dangerously quaint to incompetent to corrupt , each producing quantities of human wreckage , widespread misery , destroyed families and financial ruin. Perhaps none of these is held in more general contempt than the peculiar entities known as Childrens Aid Societies, including the anachronistic Catholic Childrens Aid Society. To mention Childrens Aid almost inevitably produces a story of human tragedy directly experienced or involving a close friend or relative. The succession of front page news stories of manifest negligence and incompetence resulting in death is the tip of an iceberg.
These private and secretive agencies exist in a strange legal limbo and their elimination is long overdue. They operate under Provincial Government legislation but are in practice virtually a law unto themselves, electing their own Boards of Directors, not disclosed to the public. Legislation provides for an appeal procedure from the decisions they make through various levels of the organization and finally to a provincial minister an absurd procedure during which children could be long dead as each level tries to cover the backside of the previous level in a bureaucratic danse macabre.
My tale speaks for itself and the reader can draw his own conclusions
When my twin children, not yet three , were resident with me after prior court decisions concerning their health their mother still had 40% access. She continued to refuse to follow medical direction and to undermine every effort on my part to restore their health , the same behaviour which resulted in the previous court decisions. Their condition deteriorated and their eminent paediatrician was alarmed. With his expert opinion I had to go back to court with his statement that the children’s health was “at risk and in peril” and his recommendation that the mother’s access had to be reduced to no more than 20% to have any hope of restoring their health.
In a surreal court scene, after waiting many hours, the judge, obviously totally exhausted after a lengthy complicated case, received the expert opinion and was challenged by opposing counsel on a technicality which she said she had never heard of. She received the paper waved by the counsel looked at it for a few seconds said “dismissed” and half stumbled out of the court leaving us totally stunned .
The doctor was advised and later informed me that under law ,with the children in jeopardy, he was compelled to make a referral to the CAS. He did so and we heard nothing. I called them and they informed me they had no such case and when I persisted called me back to say that the case had been handed over to the Catholic CAS. The intake person made a serious error when taking down the information stating that the mother had custody and when they found she was Catholic they handed it over. I am not Catholic and when I found the case worker was a nun I was concerned but her expression of concern for the children after I sent her the medical reports allayed my fears.
It was arranged that I would bring the children on the day of weekend turnover to the mother , the mother would attend for an hour meeting before my arrival and then meet me for an hour. When I met with her I could not believe it was the same person who had expressed such concern after reading the medical reports .She was cold as ice and no longer showed any concern about the children and the meeting was perfunctory. I waited a few days and heard nothing and when I called was informed that they had closed the file offering no explanation. I called the doctor to inform him and he said he had a brief call from the nun and that was all .This led to two years of unimaginable evasions and cover-ups.
Under law they are required to provide an explanation and it took many months of demands to get one. The explanation was that they could not find a doctor of similar distinction to give an alternative opinion! To draw a veil across the following absurdities eventually the appeal procedure led to a confrontation with the President and Secretary in which I laid out the devastating realities of the case. This produced a letter from the President outlining the seriousness with which they took the appeal and point by point the investigation they would undertake. The first was to meet with the doctor who made the referral under law.. Weeks went by and the doctor said he never heard from them. Two strongly worded letters to the President months later produced a call to the doctor asking if he would meet with them. He agreed and never heard from them again. That was nearly five years ago and further letters to them produced no response.
The final appeal is to a the provincial minister responsible for families and children. Which I pursued through two successive administrations of different parties. In each case the matter was referred by the Minister to junior civil servants who repeated over and over that I should complete the appeal procedure despite having provided documentation that I had done so. The correspondence was so irrational that it seemed obvious that there was political reluctance to exert any control over these incompetent organizations.
I have to say that I was also appalled at the limited intellect of the people I met in management positions who were in a position of decreeing virtually life and death. It was truly frightening to see.
There is a rule of logic called Occam’s Razor in which the simplest explanation is the logical one and I was forced to conclude that religion trumped the health of the children which was at risk and imperil.
The case received publicity in the Globe and Mail without naming names or identifying the parties. The eminent doctor was interviewed at length and the CCAS was called Now they said they had not closed the file but had referred the case to the CAS near where I lived where there was no CCAS which led to a further irritating and fruitless series of contacts given that the problem was with the mother. I was forced to the conclusion that the CCAS had asked the CAS to cover up for them knowing they had were in a very embarrassing situation.
I met with the junior CAS case worker who was sent to my home and asked her what she knew about the children’s medical condition. She admitted she knew nothing .I offered to give her copies of studies from medical journals but she refused to take them. I did not see her reports until years later which confirmed in my mind that it was all a fix.
If my file ever saw the light of media exposure it would have devastating consequences

Thirty years ago we thought it was a major event when an article critical of feminism appeared in the media. That happened then about three times a year in all of the major daily papers in the world.

The war against fathers and against the family is a long way from being over. It will probably be 50 to 70 years before that war will be won by people like you. I most definitely will not be around to see the end, while you quite likely have a chance of seeing that our side is winning.

Comments by Fathers for Life
The problems and issues identified by Stephen Baskerville are and always have been endemic in the fathers-rights movement, and especially in any attempts to bring about national or international unification of the fathers-rights movement and -organizations.
For example, just a few days ago I received a complaint by a European fathers-rights activist. The Father’s rights (FR) activist (falsely labeled by a rivaling FR organization "a woman hater") became so frustrated, discouraged and depressed on account of the false accusations made against him by the rivaling organization comprised of feminist men, that he announced his withdrawal from the FR rights movement in his country of origin.
Similar consequences occurred in 1994 in Canada for similar reasons as a result of the active sabotage of the Canadian efforts to unite the Canadian FR organizations under the auspices of the National Shared Parenting Association. Danny Guspy and a few collaborators attempted to gain control of those unification efforts, for the purpose of establishing franchised legal services. When their attempt to gain control failed, they engaged on a course of active sabotage of unification. Thirteen years later, the Canadian efforts to establish unification have not yet recovered from it 1994 destruction.
Perhaps Stephen Baskerville and others may be able to consider some of what my message to the complaining European FR activists states. At the very least, we all know that some of the dissidents identified by Stephen Baskerville and that dropped out of ACFC and other organizations over the years were moved to drop out by pressure to make them act and speak in a politically-correct (i. e.: feminist) fashion. It may well be worth the effort to unite those dissidents in a separate organization. Anyway, here is what I think of the roots of dishonesty and political correctness in the FR movement:
To a Fathers-Rights Activist in Europe:Sorry to hear of your decision, but before you make it reality, consider this:
- The parent-child group that opposes and vilifies you is a feminist organization;
- The vast majority of so-called men's rights activists and fathers-rights activists are feminists, but they do not speak for the majority of normal men and women;
- You can't make omelets without breaking eggs;
- When you stir up a hornets' nest, you may get stung;
- You don't need to get along with feminists to be able to make progress;
- Progress is made with the masses, not with individuals whose ideology so firmly constricts the blood-flow to and dominates their brains that no facts can possibly confuse them;
- In the early 1990s, my experiences were very similar to yours. Nevertheless, I found comfort in the fact that - increasingly - many prominent fathers rights activists in the world who definitely have no feminist leanings at all totally agree with my views - and I with theirs;
- Social evolution is gradually evolving away from feminist ideology, doctrine and dialectics (it actually is beginning to reject them), and towards acceptance and re-introduction of the concept of the traditional nuclear family, and that
- You invested an enormous amount of time and effort into what you believe in, the restoration of the respect society once had for men and fathers. That should not be wasted.
The war against fathers and against the family is a long way from being over. It will probably be 50 to 70 years before that war will be won by people like you. I most definitely will not be around to see the end, while you quite likely have a chance of seeing that our side is winning.
On the other hand, I can assure you that you will not have a good feeling 40 to 50 years from now when it is certain that our side is winning and all you will be able to say is: "I am proud to have been part of that war, once, for a couple of years or so -- many years ago."
After I had run into problems similar to yours I began work on Fathers for Life. If before that, when I had the sort of opposition you experience now, I had said "Not everyone agrees with me. I can't take that anymore, therefore I have had enough of it and will quit," Fathers for Life would never have come into existence. Instead, without any assistance by the dissenters and feminist men (in fact, despite of those men), Fathers for Life now exists and thrives. It has had a total of close to 5 million visitors, with an annual average growth in website traffic of around 17 percent. While in 1994 I thought that I would do well to attract 30,000 visitors by the end of the year to the website, the website now has had 2,178,622 visitors during the last year. Never give up:
Fathers for Life has become a social influence that it would never have become if I would have continued wasting my time trying to convert feminist men to more conservative views on the role of families and fathers.
Having slugging matches with feminist men may give you public exposure through the newspapers, but is has consequences that you obviously don't like. Stop wasting your time by trying in vain to work with feminist men. Instead, work with the masses of the public. Then the politically-correct, feminist men will eventually adapt to what the masses want, without you having to do a thing to make them change their minds.
The public is in the majority anti-feminist. Keep working with the public. However, network in the background with pro-male and pro-family fathers rights activists, so as to stay ideologically connected. You will soon find that you get a lot more work done and that you will make much, much more progress with changing society to a system that functions again.
Liberate yourself from feminist men. They are a serious handicap. It is not likely that you will be able to soar like an eagle as long as you are amongst turkeys that drag you down.
It would be a shame if you, just because in one little skirmish of the big war that needs to be fought some feminist men said "Boo!", you were to run away and hide from the war against the family. You are too smart for that.
Accept this saying by children, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."
Still, I often felt that I didn't need any of the aggravation that fathers-rights activism brings about. Often I became seriously frustrated and even depressed on account of all of the misery I see happening, but time and again I looked at the progress being made and took new courage.
Thirty years ago we thought it was a major event when an article critical of feminism appeared in the media. That happened then about three times a year in all of the major daily papers in the world.
Today there are every day so many articles critical of feminism and its ravages that it is no longer possible to keep up with and read all of them.

You can vary the results by replacing the domain name "now.org" in that string with the domain name of another feminist website of your choice. They all exhibit similar traffic-volume trends.
A piece of cowboy logic goes: "Always drink up-stream from the herd."
You are far from fighting a losing battle! Don't drop out, just get away from those turkeys and soar like an eagle.
