What the suffragettes stood against.

In the Seneca Falls declaration of 1848, the suffragette movement laid out what they were fighting against. One of the items reads:

"He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes, and in case of separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given, as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of women--the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of man, and giving all power into his hands."

The suffragettes were looking for equality, and in many respects they have made great advances if not won their battles, and rightfully so. In the point in question, however, they seem not to have won equality, but supremacy, and are rapidly becoming the same as the despots they loathed.

Pretty soon, fathers may have to write a similar declaration, and one of the points will likely be:

"She has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes, and in the case of separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given, as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of men -- the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of woman, and giving all power into her hands."

Think on it.
