This is one of those stories which has me breathless with incomprehension and outrage. It gets all the way to state supreme court where the biological father of a 7 year old child, whom he has parented for more than the first 4 years of life, is denied legal recognition of his fatherhood because the mother happened to conceive before she had divorced her former husband. The mother has spent three years and presumably a fortune obstructing this man's contact with his own child. What is wrong with her? The supreme court's decision effectively prevents him from ever seeking custody and parental rights. What is wrong with them?
It is not that the father is not to be granted custody nor that he is not to have visitation - he cannot even ask. How can there possibly be another side to this story? It is grotesque and disgusting travesty of justice. It is mind-numbing.
Can we imagine doing this to a mother?
And here's another case where two fathers (one biological, one step-) have to fight for recognition and shoulders are shrugged at the mother's duplicitous behavior.

RSSThis is not intended to be an anti-feminist blog, nor a reactionary fathers' rights blog. I just want you to think a little about some of the ways that men and particularly fathers are treated these days. Most of all, I want my son, but I doubt there's anything you can do about that.
The blogroll will be back soon. To contact me personally, leave a comment, and tell me not to publish it. If you want a reply, leave an email address.
