E
veryone is concerned about the tremendous costs of husband-absence. On
this we all agree. Without marriage, mothers have to do it all, children
lose half the love, care, and guidance which they should have received,
and fathers have little or no respect in society.
The vast majority of objective studies collectively point to the fact
that the replacement of the husband by the welfare state and irresponsible
divorce are the primary causes.
In
less than 25% of cases did the husband end the relationship or want the
divorce. In the "Great Society" our concern over poverty became
predatory in nature when government essentially decided that child support
should automatically replace the father as a matter of "women's choice".
The
primary political movement which caused this problem is radical feminism.
Politically energized women espousing theories founded in misandry,
combined with profiteering legal associations, devised every excuse in
the book why marriage is not necessary.
Wild
allegations against husbands, accusing them of child abuse and domestic
violence became the norm, when in fact serious child abuse and domestic
violence by husbands in the intact family is rare and sporadic in nature.
Today,
six in ten husbands will be arbitrarily thrown out of their families,
losing their children, and forced into a system of indentured servitude
to their estranged families, a system which unquestionably violates the
Geneva Convention on Slavery. Few of these husbands have done anything
wrong, and only a very few cases do real reasons exist for a divorce which
essentially destroys his social place in family and society. The level
of discrimination caused by such hateful treatment of over half the fathers
in America has become the major civil rights issue of our time -- for
it discriminates against about half the citizens of America, whether they
be black, white, or another race.
There
is only one answer to this problem. "We must now grant to fathers the
same right to be in the family as we have granted to women in the workplace."
Now,
let us see how we got to this regressive point in social history.....
