ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DEMONSTRATION OF
WOMEN’S DAY 8 MARCH 2007
FEMINIST PLATFORM FOR SHARED PARENTING
Valencia, 27th February 2007
The Feminist Platform for Shared Custody invites the women of the Valencian Community, and also the men, to bring their placards to the Women’s Day demonstration of 8th March in Valencia, this year with the motto: “sharing attention and affection, we share life“.
On this International Day when we underline the emancipation of women workers and our equality with men, we want to demonstrate in a way that shows Valencian society that “another feminism is possible”, an integrationist and non-revengeful feminism that questions the victimization of women and that favours emotional and economic freedom.
Thus we want to emphasize the importance of the co-parenting or shared custody model, both during and after a couple’s relationship, to obtain this equality between men and women, through the fact that co-parenting rescues women from their traditional role of child-raising and involves men in the care of the children.
We want to take advantage of the Women’s Day demonstration to make a call for attention to the fact that at the present time in our country the most conservative tendencies are setting up strong obstacles to the implantation of shared custody, and many women are being oriented towards raising their children exclusively, which makes the professional and social development of these women very difficult.
We request that the public authorities take a new direction in both feminist and family policy that goes beyond stereotypes of maternal gatekeeping, which envisages shared care as a means of reconciling family- and work-life balance, that rewards (and does not punish) those men who love to dedicate themselves to the raising of their children, with the object of favouring (instead of obstructing) masculine transformation.
All those people who wish to add their voices to the celebration of Women’s Day and to express their conviction that shared residence constitutes a sure bet for a future of equality between men and women will be able to find us at 7pm next to the Parterre kiosk in Valencia.
Thank you very much for your support. We look forward to seeing you.

CONVOCATORIA PARA LA MANIFESTACIÓN DEL
DIA DE LA MUJER 8 MARZO 2007
PLATAFORMA FEMINISTA POR LA CUSTODIA COMPARTIDA
València, 27 de febrero de 2007
La Plataforma Feminista por la Custodia compartida invita a las mujeres de la Comunitat Valenciana, y también a los varones, a acompañar su pancarta en la manifestación del Dia de la Mujer del próximo 8 de marzo en Valencia, que este año se ha convocado con el lema: “compartiendo atenciones y afectos, compartimos la vida”
En el Dia internacional en que reivindicamos la emancipación de la mujer trabajadora y la igualdad de hecho con los hombres, queremos manifestarnos para dar a conocer a la sociedad valenciana que “otro feminismo es posible”, un feminismo integrador y no revanchista que cuestiona la victimización de las mujeres y que preconiza su autonomia afectiva y económica.
Así, queremos destacar la importancia de la coparentalidad o custodia compartida como modelo, durante y después de la relación de pareja, para conseguir esta igualdad entre hombres y mujeres, por el hecho de que la coparentalidad rescata a las mujeres del rol tradicional de la crianza e implica a los hombres en el cuidado de los hijos.
Queremos aprovechar la manifestación del Dia de las Mujeres para hacer una llamada de atención sobre el hecho de que en la actualidad en nuestro país los planteamientos más conservadores están poniendo fuertes obstáculos a la implantación de la custodia compartida, y se está orientando a muchas mujeres hacia la crianza en exclusiva, cosa que hace muy difícil el desarrollo profesional y social de estas mujeres.
Pedimos a los poderes públicos una nueva orientación en la política feminista y en la política de familia, que vaya más allá de los estereotipos de la maternidad excluyente, que contemple la custodia compartida como una medida de conciliación de la vida familiar y laboral y que premie (y no castigue) a aquellos hombres que quieren dedicarse a la crianza de sus hijos, al objeto de favorecer (en lugar de entorpecer) la transformación masculina.
Todas aquellas personas que quieran sumarse a la celebración del Dia de la Mujer y expresar su convicción de que la custodia compartida constituye una apuesta inequívoca para un futuro de igualdad entre hombres y mujeres podrán encontrarnos a las 19:00 junto al quiosco del Parterre en València.
Muchas gracias por vuestro apoyo. Os esperamos.

CONVOCATÒRIA PER A LA MANIFESTACIÓ DEL
DIA DE LA DONA 8 MARÇ 2007
PLATAFORMA FEMINISTA PER LA CUSTÒDIA COMPARTIDA
València, 27 de febrer de 2007
La Plataforma Feminista per la Custòdia compartida convida les dones del País Valencià, i també els homes, a acompanyar la seua pancarta a la manifestació del Dia de la Dona del proper 8 de març a València, que enguany s’ha convocat amb el lema: “compartint atencions i afectes, compartim la vida”
En el Dia internacional en què reivindiquem l’emancipació de la dona treballadora i la igualtat de fet amb els homes, volem manifestar-nos per tal de donar a conéixer a la societat valenciana que “un altre feminisme és possible”, un feminisme integrador i no revanxista que qüestiona la victimització de les dones i que preconitza la seua autonomia afectiva i econòmica.
Així, volem destacar la importància de la coparentalitat o custòdia compartida com a model, durant i després de la relació de parella, per a aconseguir aquesta igualtat entre homes i dones, pel fet que la coparentalitat rescata les dones del rol tradicional de la criança i implica els homes en la cura dels fills.
Volem aprofitar la manifestació del Dia de les Dones per a fer una crida d’atenció sobre el fet que en l’actualitat al nostre país els plantejaments més conservadors estan posant forts obstacles a la implantació de la custòdia compartida, i s’està orientant moltes dones cap a la criança en exclusiva, cosa que fa molt difícil el desenvolupament professional i social d’aquestes dones.
Demanem als poders públics una nova orientació en la política feminista i en la política de família, que vaja més enllà dels estereotips de la maternitat excloent, que contemple la custòdia compartida com una mesura de conciliació de la vida familiar i laboral i que afavorisca la transformació masculina per tal de premiar aquells homes que volen dedicar-se a la criança dels seus fills.
Totes aquelles persones que vulguen sumar-se a la celebració del Dia de la Dona i expressar la seua convicció que la custòdia compartida constitueix una aposta inequívoca per un futur d’igualtat entre homes i dones podran trobar-nos a les 19:00 junt al quiosc del Parterre a València.
Moltes gràcies pel vostre suport. Us esperem.

This is nothing more than a ploy to absolve women of even more accountability and responsibility and is only going to dupe naive idiots.
Imagine ex-wives actually being co-operative with ex-husbands in reagards to shared parenting -HA! You’re talking about WOMEN- you know, the ones that made men’s lives the living Hell in the first place, thus the reason for the divorce.

I remain very skeptical. I give a cynical ad pessimistic “Let’s see how they weasel it” before I am ready to jump on the bandwagon.
Burned too many times with lofty words from the Feminazis. They have used up their “Benefit of the Doubt” cards. Show me.

It begs the question, that if women would share the kids for the free time it gives them, how much do they really want the kids around at all? Many men would gladly take the kids and let her chase her dreams.

Of course, and as in business, that is the only thing women are good at.. creating a false image and no substance. So who cares? The only ones stupid enough to actually buy into women’s B.S. are other women.

You guys are so negative… I don’t blame you, considering what I’ve seen women do in the name of feminism.
But think about it. If I’m here demanding feminist leaders stand for equality, why can’t you consider other women are waking up too?
I think there will be a groundswell of feminist women opposing their former leaders.

That sounds like some direct quote from a German in Nazi Germany in regards to Hitler.

I come from Spain and in Valencia there is a great movement pro-shared custody (check the the world meeting in Italy next year, Valencia groups were the first to sign).
This femenist are not the feminist that you know changing faces. In Europe most of the time when you hear the word feminist means equal rights, not the wacko extremist/fundamentalist in the USA, fortunately we don’t have so many as you do here. Nonetheless everything from US gets exported over there as for example wava style femism full of false report.
I can clearly tell that these are the women pro-share parenting that they are tired of wava impoerted feminism, because it really doesn’t make sense: woman complain men don’t take care of children and then when they do, women don’t let them.
You have to look at this in the context of Spain, a very different culture. It has taken me years in the US to realize theat “feminism” means wacko in the US, not so everywhere in the world.

Is some want to rain on your parade, let me offer an umbella.
The local paper didn’t run anything against “The Vagina Monologue” - not even to mention that the play advertised that they wanted to stop violence towards women and girls - while ignoring that most child abuse comes from mothers to sons. The female editor, I guess, didn’t think such details had any importance.
I was disappointed by that. To see uour articles, that are usually supportive of men, and to see that some feminists are moving away from 100% destructive views of men, is progress. I didn’t see any progress from the 60’s to 70’s for men. I saw things get worse in the 80’s and 90’s, around 95 I thought about just tuning out… but to see a little change here, a little there, gives hope.
Thanks for sharing ane spreading a little hope.

Stating “feminism” and “equal rights” in the same sentence makes it an oxymoron.
Is this not the same country where feminists forced through a law to make men servants to women ?

The ad says ‘co-parenting rescues women from their traditional role of child-raising’. Why does this leave a bad taste in the mouth? The ‘best interests of the children’ seems to be missing. In fact the children are a burden to be ‘rescued’ from. Mothers used want to raise children and wanting to be ‘rescued’ from it has entirely the wrong approach. Any change here?
Are these feminists going to rescue men from their traditional role of working to support the family, even when that family has been ripped from them by female whim and antagonistic, unjust courts? ? I guess that would be going too far. Will they claim that only some men are rapists and some sexual intercourse isn’t really rape after all? Nah.
Many movements, after a disasterous term in power, try to slide out of the consequences of their evil. The Russian Communists tried ‘Peristoika’, and reaped chaos as the people simply threw them off; the Chinese Communists are trying ‘Communism with a human face’ but still have overflowing ‘re-education’ camps and victims’ families still pay for the executioners’ bullets; imagination has to employed to think what the Nazis might have said - ‘Jews can help us make the New Reich -Arbeit Mach Frei”.
Feminism has proven itself to be mendacious when it wasn’t blatently lying. I do not have any reason to think that a group that calls itself Feminist, has anything to offer for the benefit of humanity. Except more lies.

What a total bunch of liars feminist are and here we have the “liberal” “oh I am so much for men’s rights” female promoting her misandry here.
You have lost the plot whenever anyone promotes those lying arsewipes.

Go away..

I decide each issue independently. I can agree with either side if they’re promoting equality. I’m an egalitarian. I liberally support gays and lesbians and I conservatively support fathers and family.
America’s feminists should be ashamed. They knowingly promote lies degrading men and harming children. They should take note of the intelligence and initiative taken by the untarnished feminists in Spain.

I would agree too, Teri, with any side promoting equality. But time and the test has proven over and over that liars try to wriggle out of consequences and have no resistance to telling further lies to cover their tracks. Promoting has to be tied to sincerity and honesty. We belived the feminists before when they said they wanted equality. This move by Spanish feminists is straight out of a ‘Desperate Housewives’ script. Let them prove otherwise before rushing to embrace them.

People in these nations, who love freedom, obviously know that every child has a natural right to be raised by both of their own parents. Both Moms and Dads; Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, will soon mature enough to recognize this self-evident truth.
Teri, this is great news. It’s a really good day.

Except that perfect equality is impossible to attain. However when “promoting” equality, the rules are always set up to move in that direction by whatever definition the feminists decide (today) is the meaning of “equality” (without ever getting to the end zone because as I said it is impossible). And who always ends up paying the price for “promoting” equality? Answer: the men. As ONE example:
Moronic Statement Alert
“Equality of opportunity is easy to attain.”
Try saying that to young black men living in ghettos and also see how ‘equal’ are their ‘opportunities’ when compared to those living in rich neighbourhoods and who have been educated in the most expensive of schools.
Try saying that to short dumpy women who wish to become ballet dancers.
Try saying that to the boys whose education is being biased in favor of the girls.
We are 40 years into “promoting” equality for women and with many feminists we are not even close. The rules are always changing based on new statistics that are generated to show more disadvantage to women so that more disadvantage can be heaped on men. IT IS NEVER-ENDING. And average women who disagree have been silent for 40 years. There are too many women everywhere benfitting from the status quo to call for a change-UNLESS they pay a bigger price in some other way, e.g., not being able to find a man stupid enough to marry them. Making generalizations about women bothers some people. Even when it is true. Good! It is enraging to be unfairly treated isn’t it? There is a lesson to be learned there.
My point is that the search for ‘equality’ is never-ending, and that in the process of searching for this impossible goal, the stirring up of male hatred is a major consequence - and, indeed, in the case of feminists, it is a purposeful aim.
And seasoned men’s activists will know that whatever statistical differences are found between men and women, the feminists will always manage to stir up hatred towards men on the basis of them.
As ONE example, Affirmative Action will never end until America has an equal number of accountants, engineers, doctors, bricklayers, and an equal distribution of managers, CFOs, CEOs, directors,…etc. between men and women. Until that point, the rules of “promoting equality” will benefit women and hurt men.
Now I ask the clear thinking people here: If you are a member of the group that most benefits by the rules “promoting equality” and you are in a position to “reform” a system that the other group is objecting about-well just how far will the privileged group go to look out for the equality of the side that has always been on the losing team? My guess is that they will always look for ways where they keep their advantages.

I just came across a great quote:
FAMILY
“When it comes to figuring out what’s gone wrong with our culture, we can usually rely on the American Psychological Association (APA) to catch on last. Thus, it came to pass a few days ago that the APA released its findings that American girls are sexualized. And that’s bad. If you missed the headlines, it may be because of stiff competition from the breaking news that Anna Nicole is still dead and Britney is still disturbed… It can’t be coincidence that girls’ self-objectification—looking for male attention in all the wrong ways—has risen as father presence has declined. At last tally, 30 percent of fathers weren’t sleeping in the same house as their biological children. The APA is calling for more education, more research, forums, girls groups and Web zines to tackle girl sexualization. But my instinctual guess is that getting fathers back into their daughters’ lives and back on the job would do more than all the forums and task forces combined. Ultimately, it’s a daddy thing.” —Kathleen Parker

Believe it or not I too love women-just not American women. Now that may sound unfair, unreasonable, or whatever. But that is the way it is.
Now you are correct that the problem is the government. But who has their hands on the levers of power? The feminists. Who benefits? Feminists and often women. Who often supports the feminists? Often the women. Who loses? Always the men. And for the record I don’t live in fear of anyone. I’m one guy who is angry, and this one guy bothers some people.

I’ve lived with things that no innocent man should have to. If people have a problem with my tone that is their problem.
