Human Rights or Wrongs? by Stephen Baskerville

The ideological war against fathers is really obvious here. This is from a recent article by Stephen Baskerville:
…it is sad to see the group squander their credibility. Amnesty has been so captured by political ideology that, far from defending human rights, they have become advocates for violating them.
The latest example comes from Sweden, where Amnesty is no longer fighting for political prisoners but instead advocates for authoritarian ideology. Amnesty sponsored a film competition, but when some finalists produced a film that angered feminists, the film was pulled from Amnesty’s YouTube site. Amnesty denies that pressure from an Uppsala women’s shelter was responsible for suppressing the film, but the shelter itself is gloating about its political clout.
The film, created by four high school students and titled, The Right To Be a Father, is a powerful depiction of how children are taken from their fathers by Sweden’s feminist family courts. Separating children from their fathers is not only a bedrock principle of the war against “patriarchy,” but also the bread-and-butter of the lucrative child custody industry, so it is not surprising that the sisterhood would come down hard on the heresy that feminists violate human rights.The film was nominated for the final stage of the competition. Amnesty posted it on YouTube, and the creators were invited to the film gala in Gothenburg. “But our film was never shown at the festival, and the day after it also disappeared from Amnesty's YouTube channel,” says Sara Sivesson, one of the creators. Further, the students claim they obtained an email from the Uppsala feminists bragging, “Thanks to the protests Amnesty did not show the film at the festival and they also dropped it from their website.”

This just goes to show the world that no matter what men will always be on the short end of the stick when it comes to wanting to be an important part of their children’s lives. There are so many groups or organizations for women (100′s) regarding help with child support and custody issues and only a hand for men that only want to see, love and spend time with their children. And the women don’t even see the effect that their actions have on the children. It’s about the money they get and nothing else.
Jerome is correct, there really are few public voices advocating for fathers in the Western world. The legal profession long ago figured out that fathers were easy targets for their legal shenanigans. Publicly targeting the divorce industrial complex is our only hope to change this vile and disgusting system.
All fathers should have equal access to their children. Our children need their fathers, despite what these cruel and heartless men and women of the divorce industrial complex tell themselves.
I find it hard to believe that in our day, even after seeing the civil rights violations in the 60s and the cold war against communism. We are still faced with these issues of bias in this country … How can a a government have the right to take away what God himself has givin you…. Oh … I forgot, God doesn’t live here anymore. We cant even pray in public anymore without offending someone. In god we trust only if its tangible.
This is sad. Men deserve much better than this…
As men, we need to understand (while denied by feminists) that the basis for the laws and practice that governed family court & its related issues (reproduction, parenthood, etc) is not empowerment or equality, it is, instead, retribution for the history of dominance & abuse women endured in a patriarchal society. The stories that presented the Swedish teens should be screened openly and their experiences & expectations revealed as should that of men, as parents. I’m working on a documentary on single-fatherhood (MEN ARE PARENTS TOO!) and could use your help in telling those stories. Who’s interested?
women get the short end of the stick sometimes too.
I empathize with the men who have been wronged in this manner. I am a woman and I face some of the same issues with you. My ex-husband does not understand how it will affect my son, growing up without his biological mother in the home. I want my son and I am able to take care of him, but because my ex-husband don’t want to pay child support he put it on me to pay. He is less than a man in my book. I hate that you good men have to go through all this. I would have never treated a good man the way you men have been treated. I feel that it is very important tohave both parents in a child’s life.

My book has been nominated on the Oprah’s talent search for her new Book Club show.
My book is a true life account story of my divorce experience and of what I had to go through, which includes child support and visitation battles. By writing this book I hope that through my honest (often funny) insights, it will help other fathers understand what they may encounter, during and after a divorce or the end of a relationship involving children.
This book includes my mistakes, successes and check lists to help fathers and stepmoms that become knee deep in the dysfunctionality of the court system. The court system and child services insist that what they care about is simply the welfare of the children yet the system ends up creating parental alienation in the process.
Fathers are torn away from their children causing a feeling of loss and desolation, not knowing what to expect next. Frustration gets the better of them, which is where extra mistakes begin to happen. They fall into a state of denial.
My book will help guide them with my helpful hints and mistakes as they go through the journey and understanding that when there are children involved, divorce doesn’t really mean it’s the end, but will certainly help them achieve a little leverage in the process.
My tips may help them anticipate situations that may occur and hopefully, help them be as prepared as possible for what they may face.
