Proof: Dads Are Equal

Written by Lee Doyle on August 12, 2008 – 8:42 pm

This is a LONG read but it is well worth it. If you cant read it all please read just part of it.

Sadly a friend of mind found out this quote a few days ago:

The research, which clearly illustrates how a father biologically responds to the birth of his children, also explains why thousands of men become clinically depressed when separated from their children to the point of actually committing suicide.

Fathers 4 Justice

By Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency
Jerusalem —-June 3 ..
LINK….

It was not easy writing the above headline. But when Psychology Today, one of the most respected lay journals on clinical psychology releases research illustrating that fathers are empowered biologically no differently than women when it comes to nurturing children, all keywords are needed.

The Psychological Today story: The Making of a Modern Dad, by Douglas Carlton Abrams illustrates in vivid, scientific detail how fathers are no different in their biological programming than mothers when raising children. That divorced dads who “feel” a need to be with their children, is not only an emotional reaction but a biological one as well.
This evidence hits hard at social workers, family court judges and elected legislators who abide by archaic research and outdated laws which state that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the divorced mother - not the divorced father.
“Here is the first hard evidence that men are biologically prepared for fatherhood,” says Psychology Today. “In fact, this is the first evidence that to nurture is part of man’s nature.”
This medical evidence would explain why father’s rights groups such as Fathers 4 Justice in England, the US, Italy and in Israel would risk getting arrested in their high profile protests to see their children with equal access.
The research, which clearly illustrates how a father biologically responds to the birth of his children, also explains why thousands of men become clinically depressed when separated from their children to the point of actually committing suicide.
Perhaps the 1979 Dustin Hoffman movie Kramer Vs. Kramer was society’s first major wake up call that dads were no different in wanting to care and protect their children. Years passed since the making of that landmark film where hundreds of thousands of caring, loving and responsible dads were separated from their children by narcissistic mothers, social workers and family court judges.
These city appointed social workers and family court judges who believed that it was best for the children to be with their mothers were totally unaware of the devastating effects of their actions. Rather than encouraging the dads to be dads, they alienated an entire generation of fathers who simply gave up in trying to fight the system. Perverted governmental systems which supported the few moms (most mothers encourage unlimited or equal contact) who used their small children as potent emotional weapons against their former husbands as the national and local governments practiced gender bias discrimination.

“Here is the first hard evidence that men are biologically prepared for fatherhood,” says Psychology Today. “In fact, this is the first evidence that to nurture is part of man’s nature.” Read more »

Blog of the week #2

Written by Lee Doyle on February 4, 2008 – 2:57 am

My blog of the week here is a bit different from what you might expect. It is not a blog as such but is something I follow everyday.

The blog is Great Books ~ A Chapter a Day. It is a blog that gives one chapter of a Classic book which is read by the blog author.

I think its great that someone does this and can read it in such a nice and east to listen to way. I sometimes wake up thinking “Wonder what happens today” in the books he reads.

I do read a lot but because I am a new reader I have not read many of the classics. I know I could just get the book and read them… But this is fun and also gives me something to relax to everyday/night.

Please check out this blog,
Great Books ~ A Chapter a Day
