Right, I get you. I have some sympathy I suppose for the idea of father’s rights; my daughter moved hundreds of miles away when she was very little as her mother decided to move cities with her (physically & mentally abusive) boyfriend. And I’ve a couple of friends actually have custody of their kids over the mother. That’s what I mean about the MRA movement dragging people in with their bullshit though: they’re more than willing to take those folks under their wing, to further their other nasty, small-minded fuckery. And, as you say, there’s a lot of folks have tagged on to the whole father’s rights thing that really, really should never see their kids again, ever. I also have far more female friends with abusive ex-partners, or kids who never see their dad’s because their dads are assholes.The world is very messy and complicated is it not? And our new, shiny, super-cool pope is still the head of an organisation of evil, evil bastards…
