maninism/mens rights!!

why are good loving fathers not given equal rights, why are we forced to spend thousands and go through lengthy court battles for the right to be a father to our own children all because the mother is so selfish and self centered that she can decide to do this with no regard for her childs happiness and future well-being just because she can out of spite and nastiness towards her ex partner. Many thousands of men have not been allowed to see or speak to their children for weeks or years and many simply cannot afford to continue their legal pursuit and are forced to give up for this exact reason. And yet these women have the audacity to call them themselves mothers, its laughable they are barely human beings.
Fathers are EQUALY important as mothers yet the law and some women's attitudes do not seem to reflect this. I know of a man who did everything he could to be part of his childs life, paid 36,000 in csa payments and was forced to have little contact with that child,then 10 years after she was born, rumours came out that that child wasnt his, a dna test confirmed this! Her motive? GREED, it is an all to common story, so many "mums" do not even consider how keeping their childs father out of their lives affects them in the the short and long term without even mentioning its moraly wrong. Any mum who takes there children away from there dad. doesn't deserve the bloody title! OUR children is the only way you can hurt us, which is why you use them as weapons and pawns in your sick twisted games, so how about you grow up realise life is too short, and that your children's happiness is actually MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR OWN! you may have your children now when they are young but i promise you you'll lose them when they learn the truth they will NEVER forgive you for destroying their special relationship with their dad and ensuring they had a s**t childhood, and let that be on your conscience,not that you have one or a soul or a heart or brain.
So stop punishing your children let their dads have access to them as much as you do, that is called EQUALITY.
this rant is aimed at all the dead beat"mums", i realise and recognise that the majority of mums are amazing and do the right thing by their kids by letting their father play a prominent role in their lives, as it should be. And obviously not all dads are worthy of that title either but i'm not talking about them i have as much respect for them as i do for these women that my comments are directed at.
Il be here waiting for your comments i felt it necessary to voice these facts in the lion's den so to speak, we need to be heard, fathers NEED equal rights.

You had a disagreement about whether to use a push chair or a baby carrier, which led to you calling the police on her.

Is that the only incident of her putting him at 'risk'?

Strawhatpirate · 21/10/2012 14:36

We are arseholes and bullies? Really? Remember OP when you point the finger there are 4 pointing back at you! I would sincerly love to hear your Xs pov in all this.

jiveturkey · 21/10/2012 14:32

@i wipe arses , she took a 7 day old baby outside for 3 hours without a hat or shoes just carrying him in her arms because we had a disagreement about whether to take him out in his push chair or baby backpack thing, she stormed off wile i was upstairs, i did not go after her as she needed to calm down, but went out looking an hour later as my neighbour said she saw a girl holding a baby down the canal, i could not find them so i called the police, they really good loads of them attended and brought the home safe and sound.
but this isnt about me this is about fathers having equal rights to prevent the break up of loving family's .

Respect has to be earned. We aren't your ex you know!

I think the law should be changed so that if a man has financial responsibility for a child then parental responsibility becomes automatic.
Usually it is the mother who is left with care and the current system appears to always exonerate the mother of any wrong doing.
I just feel that cases of seperation should be treated individually rather than having a 'one size fits all' solution.
I don't really see that making a man 'pay' for his child is a solution to fathers who do not want parental responsibility, yes I appreciate children can be expensive but I would not want my ex's money if someone had to take it from him. I'd prefer to do without, hold my head high and provide for them. I just think that money taints things.
I know of a situation, young couple not been together long. Woman has the implant, uses this to reassure partner about contraception, they had the 'child' conversation, he said he wasn't ready just yet, given the fact they had only been together a few months I think that is perfectly reasonable.
She then has implant removed without telling him, guess what, falls pregnant.
I think the man has the right to walk away from this situation.
I think a father should have a right to sign away all parental/financial responsibility in situations like this.
Maybe this would make women who do this think about their childs future, while than having the current cussion of 'well it's his kid and he's going to pay for it'.

solidgoldbrass · 21/10/2012 14:26

It's just classic stuff, isn't it. "Bitch won't let me see my kids. Snot fair. I only kicked her in the head a couple of times and she was asking for it. All women are slags. Waaaa!"

amillionyears · 21/10/2012 14:22

"if you show me respect il show you respect".
No, you can and ought to be doing better than this.
And shout and rant at me all you want.

The world will not always be respectful to you.
What are you going to do about it?
Thump them?
Shout at them?
Is this what you plan to teach your son?

Remember, the internet is not so private as you think.

And if a person who knows you,reads this,it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they show it to people who you would not like to see it.
Or do you think the courts and other interested parties are going to think ok about this your thread?
My guess is that you still dont care.Because you are still angry.

HappyHalloweenMotherFucker · 21/10/2012 14:21

it's not going too well is it, this thread, JT ?

most of your comments on it have been deleted for breaking talk guidelines

perhaps there is a lesson in there for you somewhere ?

jiveturkey · 21/10/2012 14:20

and sassh geting married just you get pr is more than dumb why would you need to!! you should get married because your madly in love otherwise thats how marriages fail and families fall apart and you blindly accused me of being a woman /baby beater why would asane person make such an unfounded accusation and deserve to be called a stuck up cnt you you believe i deserve to be branded a child abuser.

jiveturkey · 21/10/2012 14:12

and im angry with you lot for being absolute arseholes if someone accuses me of being a baby beater just because my ex left me well im gona get angry and il call you anything i want because you deserve it, if you show me respect il show you respect like i have done with peanut, casey and gossipwitch but the rest of you are just bullies, the issue i have raised although affects me isnt about me so try pulling your head out your righteous arseholes and take the issue for what it is like gossipwitch has done!!!!!!

jiveturkey · 21/10/2012 14:01

if you think solidgoldbrass is a legend then my remarks about her also apply to you!

OP posts:
jiveturkey · 21/10/2012 13:59

thankyou for sharing gossipwitch, this is what i want to highlight, parental alienation destroys families and it is not good for ANYONE involved, kids need the unconditional love of both parents and if you deny them that they will grow up to resent whoever it my be mother or father for for doing so.
your father sounds like a great man, and your right Children work these things out for themselves, sooner or later.

GossipWitch · 21/10/2012 11:49

jive my mother denied that I was my father's for 3 years then she wanted csa so she had a dna test done, to prove I was his so she could get money off him, of course my father wanted contact with me so for one and a half year's he got that contact, my father couldn't give me enough, which didn't sit well with my mother as she had another child and that child's father wanted nothing to do with him, and even though my father would take my sibling with us on day trips my mother felt that because my father would buy me clothes and gifts, this was unfair to my silbling and stopped my contact with him. She moved us out of the area then back again then to another area until I left home at sixteen, 2 years later, I got back in contact with my father and as my mother barely visited or had contact with me, I have built a very strong relationship with my father, he has never once said a bad word against my mother not once, my mother however has been as spiteful as you can get about my father in the past, not so much now as I know the truth, but she has been, i have no relationship now with my mother but i have a fantastic on with my father and his wife who also has never said a bad word against my mother. Children work these things out for themselves, sooner or later.

sashh · 21/10/2012 11:47

I missed the offensive posts.

Just think of words begingin with F and C, add them in any order and then finish with a sexist remark.

Strawhatpirate · 21/10/2012 11:25

Is it just me or did he seem to have a strange reaction when solidgoldbrass posted? Almost like he was delighted being in the presence of a legend.

flippinada · 21/10/2012 11:02

I very much doubt you have posted anything like the unhinged and frightening rant upthread peanut.

peanutMD · 21/10/2012 10:45

JiveTurkey, I just came back to see if any constructive point had been reached but it would appear not!

I know that sometimes life just makes you want to scream and lash out but you have to project it usefully or atleast privately, again I understand the rage and to be perfectly honest I've had my fair share of 'scraps' on this forum through misguided anger and that feeling of banging your head on a brick wall because people are attacking you left, right and centre... But you know what? Most of the time its because I'm putting my thoughts wrongly and not getting my point across.

Re-read your posts and think how you're coming across because it does seem very bitter towards women in general and some of you're comments are appaulling tbh!

But do I think that makes you an unfit parent who deserves to be kept away from his son? Hell no! It's your RL actions that matter, sometimes on here I sounds like a raving loon who shouldn't be left with a child and I've seen some others who do too.

ignore all the questions and snide comments, perhaps start a new thread, but I'd suggest you just go for it and write an honest account of why your ex left and what you've been doing since to help if that's what you want to do.

Hopefully you will get more help.

IWipeArses · 21/10/2012 10:35

Bloody hell.

What was it she did that was selfish and put his health at risk OP?

DuelingFanjo · 21/10/2012 10:33

I missed the offensive posts.

What have you done to try to get him back?
What reason does your ex give the courts to keep him from you?

flippinada · 21/10/2012 10:19

I've read some angry things on here in my time but that post in the early hours of this morning is utterly vile.

ConsiderCasey · 21/10/2012 10:17

Oh deary me! Jiveturkey I came back on here to see how you were doing but your posts have become terrifying!

You cannot speak to people like that. Imagine if the judges of your court case saw those posts calling people you disagree with "f&;ktards" and
"c?!nts"? What would they think of you as a potential role model for your son? I know that you are angry at life and the justice system and you are a young man who is incredibly frustrated but OP, this is not the way to go!

If you feel people are being undignified to you then rise above it, try to act with dignity yourself. Remember one day you will have your son with you and you need to show him what it means to be a cool rational human being.

flippinada · 21/10/2012 10:16

If your behaviour on here is in any way reflective of how you treated your ex then I'm not surprised she doesn't want you to have contact.

You sound like quite a frightening, angry person who lacks self control. In other words, just the sort of person who shouldn't be anywhere near a baby.

amillionyears · 21/10/2012 09:50

I hope you feel calmer this morning.
Do you have any sensible,calm women in your life who could possibly help you with what may be a genuine case.
tbh, I am reluctant to read all your posts because of the ranting,and that is not what you really want is it?

You must always keep the end goal in mind?
What is the end goal?
Are you willing to change character,if necessary for the end goal?

If you have a lot of anger,and it seems you do,you need to find healthy ways to get rid of it.
Have a punch bag in your garage for example.
Go to the gym.
Take up running,whatever.
But get rid of it privately.

Ideally,you could post on here again,[not sure that feminism is the right place,because you are going to have lost the anger next time you post,right?],perhaps on "chat",as that is a fairly calm place,and talk about your rational ideas,and tbh, inform some of us about what goes on about this issue. I,for one,dont know much about all this stuff,and would personally like to read about it,maybe especially from a mans pov.
But,no anger. Once a poster starts being angry with another poster,they start to lose goodwill,and that is not what you really want ,is it.

solidgoldbrass · 21/10/2012 09:47

Pretty obvious why she binned you, isn't it? Showing yourself up as an unhinged woman-hater is not the best way to help your case.

amillionyears · 21/10/2012 09:40

There are some good points made here on both sides.

But I am afraid,op,that you do not do your cause any favours by writing like this.
Because you look like you lack some self control.

If the courts were to see this post,do you really think they are now going to look more favourably at your case??

And that is a shame. But like rosabud says,how safe are you around your child?
For all I know you are probably perfectly safe,but by doing this sort of thing,and presumably loudly shouting your mouth off in public,you put doubts in poeples' minds. Which persumably is the opposite effect to what you really want??
