To clar...Darren, thanks for your insightful input. To clarify point #1 you made, my ex was not a 'bad boy', rather a 'helpless boy' who gave over power because he wouldn't participate in decision-making becoming the 'child' who eventually took up all room in the nest leaving no room for raising young. His father died of alchohol-related disease when my ex was 14 and his mother raised him as 'Jesus Christ', her only child. I felt he would compete inappropriately, but that wasn't the main reason I left. He discovered a good 'hook' was to instill fear in others with his temper and to seek triangles and competition for his 'affection'. It worked pretty well for a number of years until my revulsion and boredom trumped attraction.<BR/>He was a pussy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-80882231265092576802008-05-25T18:14:00.000+01:002008-05-25T18:14:00.000+01:00Dawa Satso,I'd make a few points:1) When there is ...Dawa Satso,<BR/><BR/>I'd make a few points:<BR/><BR/>1) When there is protection from the consequences of their choice, there does seem to be a tendency for women to mate with 'bad boys' (theres much scientific evidence for this).<BR/><BR/>2) Men - in evolutionary terms - have no in-built instinct to work to nurture another man's children. <BR/><BR/>3) Several decades of men being told they aren't needed, fathers aren't necessary, and of no-fault divorce which often means financial and emotional ruination for a man has undoubtedly forced men to re-evaluate their motivation to get married.<BR/><BR/>4) Lifelong marriage with the man out working to support the family unit is not a natural thing (you don't see the equivalent of it much in the animal kingdom), and there are pretty good reasons to suppose that its invention (as a cultural institution) is what kick-started and sustained the development of Human civilisation (without the institution, men tend to prefer to just drift, as they have little motivation to work for and invest in the future).<BR/><BR/>5) Once you abandon cultural knowledge for several generations, the only way it can be regained is the way it was acquired originally: by a slow process of trial and error.<BR/><BR/>i.e. what I'm saying is that men have changed, and they are probably not changing back within our lifetimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-66474670561560536542008-05-23T14:38:00.000+01:002008-05-23T14:38:00.000+01:00DH and Darren, although I'm a single mum (my son's...DH and Darren, although I'm a single mum (my son's dad had a penchant for violence when things didn't go his way) I just love men and recognize all children's need for the involvement of both parents. In exchange for peace to avoid potential disaster I chose NOT to accept child support knowing that would be a rope keeping us tied together with all it's karmic implications. My ex relinguished custody entirely after 10 years of marriage, and has never seen his son even given an opening to do so<BR/>years later. <BR/>Down the line on both sides of our families are men who've deserted their wives and children. Fatherless fathers, unmentored men, unadmired men.<BR/>My brother has crushing child support and an ex who has no conscience with being ruthless and materialistic "throw him in jail" repeat returns to court while she herself has not used the time to educate herself and earn a decent living although her children are now 23, 20 and 16 years old perfers to drain someone else because the courts support this punitive business-as-usual custom.<BR/><BR/>My son could sure use a man (there's a hole in his belly because of it) to take time to admire and instruct him. Such men, nurturing men who have time or common soul to mentor a boy are fucking impossible to find.

And there's the Fathers for Justice thing in ...Yes. And there's the Fathers for Justice thing in the UK, because when a family splits up, the law is weighed heavily against the fathers, and there is very little they can do if the mother decides to be obstructive about giving them access. There was one case a few years ago where the mother threw such a wobbly every time the father turned up that the judge decided (regretfully) that while the father still had to pay child support, he could have no access to the kids.Barry Goddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050835957098177925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-71835354542414947212008-05-22T16:18:00.000+01:002008-05-22T16:18:00.000+01:00If its ok for a woman to go on the Internet - for ...If its ok for a woman to go on the Internet - for example - and buy sperm to create a baby, like she was shopping for any material good (hm, I think I'll buy some sperm that came from a man with an IQ over 120, blond hair etc etc) then aren't we back to something not a million miles away from eugenics? Aren't we reducing life down to its material level and ignoring love, consciousness, spirit?<BR/><BR/>If its ok to use science to produce babies with no daddies, then how long before big corporations and governments somewhere say its ok for THEM to produce babies with no mummies or daddies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30912075.post-84704857056706913932008-05-22T16:05:00.000+01:002008-05-22T16:05:00.000+01:00Saying that fathers are unnecessary is a far wider...Saying that fathers are unnecessary is a far wider issue than lesbian families, which are quite a small minority of the population. I think the bigger issue is the increasing numbers of single women who will create children with no father. <BR/><BR/>If boys and men think they are no longer a necessary and wanted part of the family, what is there to motivate them to sacrifice so much towards it? <BR/><BR/>Wasn't the role of 'fatherhood' one of the key pillars that allowed civilisation to develop? It bound men and women together with a common interest to raise children, gave men motivation to work hard, and to invest in the future.<BR/><BR/>People think they are so clever, and politically 'right on' in dumping fatherhood, or diminishing it to an optional 'lifestyle choice', but I suspect its going to turn out to have some very bad consequences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
