"Oh, and if I recall correctly, aren't the majority of voters women?"
True or not, these oppressed fathers have mothers,sisters, girlfriends, and grandmothers and friends witnessing these attrocities and VOTING. Remind your politicians that pander to the fems of this little fact. "Rambler" wrote in message ... 'Kate wrote: Given that the greatest number of non-payers (by a wide margin) are fathers, why go after the mother? This is a serious comment, yes? The reason why the greatest numbers of non-payers, on a strictly numerical basis, are fathers *is because* the greatest number of *all* payers, by a whopping margin are men. Take one percent of a billion and you are going to come up with a larger number than 50% of a thousand. Now, switch those figures around, and all of a sudden, where custody situations and child maintenance equal, you'd have, statistically speaking, a population of 500 million non-payers as opposed to the 100,000 that you have now. The *reason* for this is that it has been my personal experience that women are treated far more gently then men are in this process. Take a look at child access interference. Were that prosecuted to the same extent that child maintenance is prosecuted, heck we'd have kids growing up without parents, because both Mom and Dad would be in jail. But aside from that, mothers are listed in the non-payers listings when they are on websites and in the papers in many areas. If I were a NCF, I would be fighting the media to get rid of the term. Most of the people working in media who are in positions of power are men. Start writing them and telling them that you will refuse to buy their sponsor's products if they continue to malign NCF's. Been there, doing that. The term is perhaps widespread by the media, but it is consistently placed forward by advocate groups to keep the terms in front of people. Take the term 'lesbianism.' Absolutely great pr work on the group that advocated that. On the one hand, you've got 'gays' which are maligned because they are male homosexuals. On the other you've got 'lesbians,' who in reality are merely female gays, but the perception is much different, because their pr machine was better. Take the Dead Beat Dad 'concept.' Again, a better pr machine. And it's not the media. The system is continually reinforced through domestic violence issues, child support issues. Oh, and if I recall correctly, aren't the majority of voters women? it is a gender thing only because a small part of one gender has made it a gender thing. One can either evolve back to the centre which takes time and pain, or revolt back to the centre. That's why you get people making it into a *huge* gender thing, to push it back to the centre. The problem with that is that a 'revolution' has an amazing tendancy of pushing too far in the opposite direction. Just my two kopeks worth. Rambler |
