Do you support the Father's Rights Movement?

[Violet_Crumble]

43. +1000. And I will never support any movement to give parents custody based on their gender...

Tavener describes that movement as: 'That is, the movement to give shared and more parental rights to Fathers during a divorce...' I'm calling a big BS on that one. Where I live, custody is decided based on what's best for the child, not on what gender the parent is. And what's this 'during a divorce' stuff? I'd take a guess that many parents aren't married and therefore never get divorced. I was never married and my ex never suffered from not having any parental rights. In fact, right up till my child hit 18, he had the right to stop me taking her out of the country without his permission, even though he'd made the choice not to be part of her life...

btw, when it comes to claims that fathers are so hard done by, etc, here's one recent case that happened here where things like the Hague Convention ensure that both parents rights are protected when it comes to their children. My only complaint with how that case turned out was that it took so long for an outcome to happen, and that was because the mother broke even more laws than she'd already done in hiding the children and stuff. After watching the way she carried on and what she put her children through, she's the epitome of a bad mother, imo...
