NOTE: This thread is a bit long, as well as the linked article below. Taken some time to read it all. I'd also like to note that any flaming, irrelevant insults, or "ganging up" on anyone will not be tolerated. I'm not looking for a war against the genders or to "bash women", so act properly when responding. Thank you.

I would like everyone to take a good look at this article and a moment of their time to read it, (it's rather long). Once you have read it, look below to find out what this thread is about.

Do Not Respect Them | MND: News and Commentary Since 2001

As few of you may know (or not know since this is not a widely known subject--or popular for that matter), misandry is becoming more and more of a frequent occurence these days. What is misandry?

mis·an·dry /ˈmɪsændri/ Pronunciation [mis-an-dree]
–noun
1. hatred of males.
That's right, a hatred of males; a hatred that is becoming so radical that it's already infected our legal system, marriage, and family life. Moreso is it affecting our children.

Anyway, hopefully you've read the article I pasted above and took a moment to think about what I'm talking about.

In modern times, more men are being stripped from their children, demonized and ridiculed as being violent rapist/abusers, and overall discriminated, particularly for their rights.

One common occurrence happens with disgruntled women. These women put together false allegations and lies towards their intimate partner in order to get something and in the process, hurt their intimate partner.

Take for example this case, Barbara Grieg, US State Department, facilitates International Child Abduction www.TheReaganWing.com

In the article, this is what happened.

In February 2003 Fuith decided to leave Hindle and return to the U.S. She knew he would object to her taking Emily, so she did what many women in her position have done. She accused him of domestic violence and sexual abuse of children. Thanks to VAWA, she needed only to speak the words.

Fuith was taken in by a battered women’s shelter, and given free legal aid by the U.S. government. With no evidence and no due process, Barbara Grieg authorized the illegal abduction. The U.S. Embassy in London issued a passport for Emily without her father’s signature as required by law. The forged signature was not notarized, and had the wrong date.
Now, because of this, Hindle was arrested without any evidence supporting Fuith's claims, but also had lost his daughter as Fuith illegally took Faith (the daughter) with her back to the U.S..

Because of these actions taken by Fuith, her daughter soon lost the eyesight in her right eye due to the discontinuance of this little girl's treatment as she was born with esotropia. Esotropia is a form of strabismus, or "squint", in which one or both eyes turns inward (taken from wiki). Afterwards, Fuith then decided to switch Faith into the custody of Leslie Merriam, a convicted pedophile.

These are just a few actions taken by this woman that have resulted in abuse of her own daughter and husband. Currently, Hindle has been freed, the courts ruled Fuith has lied about everything, and despite all that, this man hasn't seen his daughter in two years NOR has his wife been put in jail for her blatant crimes.

This is just ONE tragedy out of hundreds of other similar cases. False allegations and assumed abuse are as common as the setting sun itself and only recently have people began to notice. It's the tip of the iceberg.

The other thing is this commonly seen ideal that men are punching bags. In A LOT of commercials, women hitting men are accepted to be "funny" while the commercial itself really isn't.

Here's a perfect example: GlennSacks.com Blog Archive You'd Think That by Now They'd Know Better...

Of course, this is only a commercial. Years ago, I probably would have moved on and ignored it, but the problem here is how frequent such commercials are all over the world. As men have become down-scaled and discriminated when it comes to this domestic violence, it also becomes normalized into our society as an "everyday" thing. If the genders were reversed and it was a man hitting a woman, feminist and the like would be up in arms. It's a contradiction that has hurt society. Lastly, there's the family life.

Men, specifically fathers, have been pushed out the equation. They are, again, seen as abusive drunkards/junkies who either abuse their wife or their child. Because of this repeated image, mothers are usually given custody of the child when intimate partners leave one another. In the courts, it's even worse because ANY woman can issue a restraining order, kick a man out of his own house, and stop him from seeing his kids. All a restraining order OR allegation needs is a woman's words without presented evidence and a man can be arrested immediately. I kid you not.

With such things happening, most household's these days are single mothers with kids. This affects the children because they're put through hell when it comes to divorce. Not only that, but 70% of inmates in prisons come from single parent (usually mothers) households. I won't go as far to say that "it's women's fault", but the increasing violence in children or children who grow up to become criminals seem to have a connection with that fact.

Hell, Obama not too long ago addressed the issue about black mother's having a child and the father leaving. Apparently, this is such a common occurrence that is has drastically hurt the black community with kids who jump into thug life and the like. With children who have no fathers, it seems more likely that something will go wrong.

Having said all of that, what is your views on such common occurrences such as false reports of abuse/domestic violence, how much the legal system favors women, and how it affects family life?
