He put this on his facebook feed and blocked them. He really went through a lot of abuse from EW. DV and using the DC against him as weapons, false allegations (proven to be false) which is still continuing 8 years later so he did support F4J as he saw them as a force for good to help loving Dad's see their DC's but their latest campaign and public trolling of Mylene Klass has really got his back up to the point where he want nothing more to do with them.
He loves shopping in Mothercare for our DC's with me, his Mother use to shop in Mothercare and he has never been refused access to the baby changing room there or anywhere. He said if he did have that problem he'd phone head office or write a letter. He is digusted that grown men are objecting to the name Mothercare as well, sees the whole thing as ridiculous and just the usual obsession with what he call's ist's and ism's.
Personally I don't think he is BU I think he's right. He asked me to post on Dadsnet which I did but we'd also like the opinion of the Mums.
Here's his FB post:

Please Read:
I have long been a supporter of Father's 4 Justice because of what I have been through with regards to my ex witch and my twins.
However today I have removed my support for them due to the fact that they have now become a ridiculous media driven parody of what they once stood for. Their campaign to get Mothercare to change its name is ridiculous in the extreme, their public trolling of Mylene Class's private family business is a disgusting example of the bullying and abuse that any decent gentleman or Father would be wholly against.
Also their deletion of any comment on their feed by anyone who disagrees with what they are doing is not only extremely rude, undemocratic and biased but also borderline fraudulent in my opinion in the arena of the public opinion of the very people they perport to represent. i.e . Us Dad's!
If anyone wishes to share and post this comment or put it on the Father's 4 Justice page please do so because I have blocked them in light of the above.

Although i agree with your sentiment witch is not an autocorrect for wife

On a lighter note i have had to put two of my childrens names and the word 'fuck' in my phone dictionary . As it refuses to recognizse any of them

And my ipad keeps using Americanisms...bloody thing

shivermytimbers · 27/08/2017 15:46

Have you always known (like most of the rest of us) that F4J were a bunch of tossers? In which case why hadn't you already highlighted this fact to your partner?
If you also used to think they were ace, then what the fuck is wrong with your thinking???

BertrandRussell · 27/08/2017 15:51

"Whilst ex witch isn't great are we really gonna compare that to the countless cunts we see thrown about to talk about exs"
Well, presumably not in a semi formal position statement? On a public forum where people who know them will read it- his children, for example. There's a time and a place.......

diddl · 27/08/2017 15:52

Why would he-or you- think that anyone would be interested in sharing his comment?

SophoclesTheFox · 27/08/2017 15:55

So he's cool with flour bombing politicians, threats of kidnapping, sustained campaigns of harrassment against public figures, including rape and death threats and various acts of criminal damage, but he draws the line at Mylene Klass? A proper gent and no mistake.

Mothercare sell mainly to mothers. It's a fact. Aside from the baby stuff which still sells primarily to women, it sells maternity items.

Perhaps if they'd been approached by "Parents For Justice"? Or is it only men who are interested in justice for families...

Fartypant · 27/08/2017 16:00

He's now deleted the post and I've asked the mods to delete the threads due to the insults we're getting just for asking an opinion. Is this how grown adults are supposed to act?

I don't understand what you are asking an opinion ON though OP? What is the question?

SerfTerf · 27/08/2017 16:02

"How great are we?" was the question, I believe. Grin

I'm surprised he got involved with F4J in the first place.

I find it weird his phone spelled witch instead of wife.

And I actually think Mothercare is a somewhat sexist name, although expectant fathers don't actually need care. But it's a brandname, and I expect it will have a history that justifies its name, so I wouldn't campaign to have it changed.

Also, on his "statement", it should be "Us dads" and not "Us dad's" and "Fathers 4 Justice" not "Father's 4 Justice".

It's interesting that you copied his FB post but you also seem to have a big issue (also with dad's) with apostrophes. Hmm

Lweji · 27/08/2017 16:20

So, did you write his FB post for him, or are you a male poster?

Im thinking it was a typo, however my spellcheck repeatedly spells words wrong ( not other countries words, just wrong).
I just think it's sad that once again a discussion has descended onto insults.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 27/08/2017 18:25

Wouldn't disagree with you there kalie

Its a shame as it might have been interesting

Probably not but you never know Grin

Weebo · 27/08/2017 18:25

Kali if you believe that's a typo, I have a bridge to sell you.

HelenaDove · 27/08/2017 18:40

Its well known what F4J are.

Whats Myleene Klass done and why are they slating her.

Papafran · 27/08/2017 19:08

Helena, they were slating her 2 years ago as apparently she was withholding contact. Guessing her ex went and did some sob story interview as I seem to recall that her version was different. But as I said, that was in 2015 so if the OP's DP is so outraged by it, why did he ever join. And I am not sure why he is alluding to it now.
As for the ex-witch, no way is that a typo. I think that's the terminology the F4J group uses.

technowhoopsy · 27/08/2017 19:13

seems reasonable 2/10

Willyoujustbequiet · 27/08/2017 20:34

Everyone knows F4J are a bunch of misogynistic deluded wankers.

Be very careful OP. Chances are you will end up in the ex witches shoes one day
