Seems to me, feminists are no different than RACISTS and the like...

Rhys I think you'll find a lot of feminists agree with the principles of F4J, just not their inflammatory tactics, their Stalin like moderation of free speech on their site or their narrow focus.

Why don't you have a search for some of the threads of the time, there were some very interesting discussions that came out of it.

To quote one of the comments

"There is a lot to what ' Fathers for Justice ' are saying. Perhaps this poster is a little strong but in principle I'm with them. I know a boy who loved his wife and child but who found that she preferred someone else. They were living in a house he had inherited from his father and the judge ordered him out, awarded custody to the girl and because her new 'boy friend ' was unemployed, made him pay maintenance. He was allowed to see his son every other weekend. He killed himself. Primarily two people were responsible for his death, his wife and a stupid J.P. There are many times when men over step the mark but women can be very difficult too and I believe there is a degree of overcompensation going on where men, mostly young men are the victims. I believe in prenuptial agreements where it is agreed before hand who keeps what if a relationship fails. I think all couples should press for this."

I hate F4J. With a passion.

Glad the ASA upheld complaint. That poster was very offensive and the comments taken out of context and not at all representative of how feminists think of men.

It was quite a roller coaster weekend that one ....
