Women get furious over plan to make them name their childs' father

Single mothers will be forced to name baby's father on birth certificate

Germaine Greer: A dad's role will never equal a mum's

Greer's argument seems to boil down to saying: because women experience greater emotional intensity over having a child - having it grow inside them for 9 months - they therefore far more important than fathers, who are essentially expendable. Of course, this is the matriarchal system that Greer has devoted her life towards promoting. Its the system that results in society becoming a poverty and violence stricken ghetto. Yes, women do experience greater physical intensity in having a baby grow inside them, but this does not necessarily make them a far better parent. For example, women in the UK now abort 1-in-4 of their offspring. You don't find the likes of Greer complaining about that.

"This move paints a picture of mothers wilfully cutting out fathers, perhaps on a whim, and scapegoats them for absent fathers. It ignores the fact that some of these mothers may be protecting themselves and their children from fathers who won't contribute to a child's well-being - because of drug use, abuse or other factors. You can't legislate happy families."

Once again, women are painted as the innocent victims. In this case, having to hide from nasty, abusive, drug-taking men. No mention, of course, of their responsibility not to open their legs to such men in the first place.

Anonymous said...: Will having the mother forced to name the father give her husband/partner the entitlement to know whether he is or is not the father? Given the NHS will not disclose the blood group of the baby to the husband/partner of the mother just in case he doesn't turn out to be the father, I can't help but wonder how they will obscure the actual parentage of the child if he isn't the father.

Of course, casting one's mind back to the CSA when they tried the same tactic, the reasons as to why the mothers couldn't name the father were...interesting. One claimed to be vomiting out of a window at the time so couldn't be too sure who she was having sex with, another said she slept with so many and was wasted, pointless asking because she didn't even know the men involved.

Yes, this is going to be a very interesting development and one that is to be sure to provide many humerous anecdotes.; 11:38 am

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
