Proof: Dads Are Equal
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.

Jerusalem —-June 3 ..

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.
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evidence hits hard at social workers, family court judges and elected legislators who abide by archaic research and outdated laws which state that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the divorced mother - not the divorced father.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.”

Subscribe to the comments for this postNATIONAL FATHERLESS DAY RALLY
As many of my readers know I am a member of Fathers-4-Justice. The past week I have been talking to a member of F4J-US and he told me about this idea he has. I think its amazing as it is not just for all of us Fathers but for everyone. Many children these days grow up in single family homes and many feel that they never get to know their fathers. Many grow up thinking that their father may not love or even care for them… This may be the case for many… But what many people do not know is in many countries Fathers are pushed out of the family home by mothers and authorities. It is much more easy to just push the father out then to work on having BOTH parents help in looking after the child… I feel this is unfair and I am sick of hearing the same story time and time again from loving fathers who phone me crying and email me with the same stories but different names.
This event is NOT just for fathers! We need to change peoples views and we all need to do it together… Not just for ourselves but for our children and our children’s children.
If you have ever known someone who has been effected by a fatherless home please help with this. Even if it is just displaying a badge showing your support or actually joining the cause… Everything helps.
On June the 13th is Fatherless Day and in many city’s and towns around the US and maybe the UK (And more) there will be rallies organised by fellow F4J members. Please show all your support.
Don’t let the bad Dads effect us, we want to be fathers…

No option but to disrupt our lives
Last week we heard from journalist Adam Postans on why he believes Fathers 4 Justice has taken the wrong route to win public support. In response, the group’s founder Matt O’Connor explains why direct action by the campaigners may close the motorways before Christmas
Take That and the Spice Girls have been staging comebacks. Now, according to Adam Postans, so will the Sex Pistols of protest groups, Fathers 4 Justice (F4J).Are the rumours and Press reports true? Will the Severn bridges be converted into Europe’s largest outdoor car parks courtesy of the lycra lads? Is Wales going to be closed for Christmas?
And will Batman come out of retirement in the new year?
The answer to that question currently resides with the Secretary of State at the Department for Work and Pensions, Peter Hain - the “Minister of Pain” as we have dubbed him, who bottled our first meeting, despite inviting us to his Neath constituency in Wales all the way from Southampton.
Here was a Minister who would shake the hands of Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, but wouldn’t shake the hands of a man who is known only for bolstering sales of superhero garb in our nation’s fancy-dress shops. That man, by the way, is me.
If these last-ditch attempts at constructive dialogue fail, we are left with no alternative other than to resume a full-scale campaign, the scale and type of which will make the first phase of Fathers 4 Justice look like the Boys’ Brigade. Big dramatic statements will be required, for these are the accelerants of change and change is what our children deserve.
For five years, Fathers 4 Justice has valiantly waged a campaign for equal parenting using ridicule, satire and subversion as weapons of choice against the establishment. We have faced imprisonment, huge trials, people being shot at and Government smear campaigns.
But recent protests have been relatively low-key, compared to our halcyon days as dialogue came before direct action.
More recently there have been unconnected moronic acts of vandalism by somebody with the mental electricity of a low-energy light bulb.
Our target is the system, not our nation’s heritage.
But, in the quieter interludes behind the headlines, Fathers 4 Justice have engaged in plenty of soul-baring and pressed the flesh of the great and the good, so much so that, last week, the Archbishop of York spoke warmly about our campaign in the House of Lords.
Despite blowing enough hot air to power an offshore wind farm, Adam Postans’ views are not rooted in any kind of reality, especially when he accuses the courts of being lenient on F4J protesters.
He should take note that when judged by a jury - the real court of public opinion - we have been found not guilty in six trials by jury.
But the real story here is that fatherhood is being made redundant, emotionally, finan- cially and biologically. This is a national emergency and that’s why Fathers 4 Justice will continue to sound the alarm.
YOU have no rights to see your children in law after separation. The courts will tell you that they are acting in the “child’s best interests” but this is an unfounded claim. There is no evidence to prove this because no records have been kept on the outcomes for children.
Family law is the devil’s labyrinth, run by an unelected, unaccountable and unsackable judiciary who operate in secrecy. This is the greatest cover-up in the history of British justice. The question is, just what have they got to hide?
This insidious gender apartheid determines that the mother shall be the carer and the father shall pay. The Government is happy for you to abandon your child tomorrow - providing you pay. You are not a father, you are a cashpoint.
The final coup de grace has been the removal of the father by design. The Embryology Bill will see the unprecedented removal of the need for a father in legislation for the first time and allow single parenting to become the lifestyle choice du jour for millions of selfish women.
The catastrophic consequence of the sex wars is the harvest of bullets and blades that sees children killing children on our streets, the highest rate of young offending in Western Europe, the highest rate of teenage pregnancies and also an epidemic of abortion.
The evidence is overwhelming that Britain is in breakdown - family breakdown, driven by the systematic removal of the father by the state from the family unit.
Mr Postans might put his personal convenience above a duty to the nation but we will not. We not only have a duty of care to our children, but a duty to act according to a higher moral code - the prevailing laws of natural justice that dictate children have two parents - not the perversion of justice that is family law.
The philosopher Thomas Paine once wrote: “If there be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” We have gone to war for lesser principles. Nothing is more important than the children we love and cherish.
If that means that the roads will close this Christmas, then as a father for justice, I say let them.
