In her recent blog post Bad father, great actor on Alec Baldwin and Parental Alienation, controversial feminist blogger Amanda Marcotte of www.Pandagon.net writes:
“Baldwin is living up to the hint of abusive f*** that we gleaned from his phone message to his daughter. He’s proceeding to live out the MRA (Men’s Rights Advocate) scriptâ€â€Âpassive-aggressively abandoning his job so he can dedicate himself to full-time whining that he doesn’t have the subservient wife and children he feels entitled to and blaming his victims (â€ÂÂI’m only an ass*** because my ex-wife made me be one,†is the entire theory behind the made-up syndrome “parental alienation syndromeâ€ÂÂ)…Just more evidence of the theory that oppression hurts the oppressors by dehumanizing themâ€â€Âin this case, Baldwin is victimizing himself by being more attached to his sense of male entitlement than he is to his impressive talents as an actor.
“What are [the fathers’ rights movement’s] legitimate issues? That paying child support is unfair unless the recipient is forced to deliver some pussy once a week? That men who beat their wives should have the courts help them continue the abuse after she escapes by enabling non-stop lawsuits? Good luck finding a non-abuser to be its face. Non-abusive men tend to avoid the father’s rights activists, because there’s nothing the FRAs have for men who aren’t eager to find legal ways to continue abuse.
“FRAs want to give men more leeway to pursue illegit grievances. I oppose allowing men to make up reasons to sue their ex-wives repeatedly so that they can continue to abuse women who are trying to escape their abuse.”
