Choosing the rule of law over the rule of man marked a signal event in the history of civilization. Those seeking to implement “social justice” through the courts want Lady Justice to take off her blindfold so she can see the faces of the poor huddled victims of American class injustice—and rule accordingly.
Make no mistake [...]

Fathers Are Mere Tenants
The manhood brand is dead, kaput, and that is no accident. Men, who built the legal and physical infrastructure of this country from scratch, have, over the past 36 years, chosen to allow women to marginalize and overshadow them. It’s as though the entire history of men was written on an Etch-a-Sketch [...]

Chicago, IL – The death of Duncan and Jack Connolly, two Illinois children allegedly murdered by their father Michael Connolly, touched many people’s hearts. I lament this terrible tragedy. However, as a fathers’ rights advocate and attorney, I regret that this case is now reinforcing the malicious stereotype of the brutal father, potentially [...]

“Men have no clearly defined enemy who is oppressing them.”
-Susan Faludi (Stiffed, 1999)
I was raised by my grandmother who was born in the late 1800s. I have three daughters and two sons. I am especially grateful that my daughters were born into a world vastly better for them than it was for their great-grandmother. But, [...]

As a fathers’ advocate, I had hope when President Obama was elected. Some expressed disappointment that the author of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) had become Vice President. They feared more gender-based discrimination. Being a liberal egalitarian, I was optimistic.

My president had said he respects our civil rights. I believed all [...]

She’ll Hit Again
Oprah Winfrey is increasing domestic violence in America. By being Harpo — remaining silent — on the truth about violent women, she unwittingly perpetuates the problem.? Repeatedly excusing women’s culpability and unfairly blaming men only serves to foment this pernicious societal scourge.
On March 19, 2009, Oprah aired an anti-male show about domestic violence [...]

“Everyone knows that it is just wrong for men to hit women.” Yes we do! But apparently there are still far too man educators, researchers and interveners who still do not know that it is wrong for one person to hit another regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation or severity.

Watching the Sean Goldman parental child abduction case unfold in the media has been bittersweet for parents of children still missing. All American parents with children abducted to foreign countries experience the same emotions and frustrations as Sean’s father David Goldman. He’s fortunate to have the help of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Foreign parents must [...]

Obsession with Carats
Nothing speaks subjugation like a man on bended knee, sliding a diamond engagement ring on the finger of his new fiancée. Yet, countless men engage in this emasculating, enslaving ritual every day.
When asked why he felt compelled to prostrate himself while pledging to his “better half” a life of devotion, the typical man [...]

Anyone wondering why marriage is passé and illegitimacy is at record levels can find the answer in the recent case of the unmarried California mother with six test-tube children who just launched octuplets with the help of an unethical feminist fertility clinic.
Why would she do this? Because she gets about eight times more welfare [...]

“It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put on the troubled seas of thought.”
–John Kenneth Galbraith
It seems almost impossible to make up a story like this one. An AP story in the Chicago Tribune claims that the state of Michigan is giving a father “a [...]

Culture-Splitting Battle
Quick … name one person, in all of world history, born as the result of a homosexual union. You can’t. It’s biologically impossible.
Yet, we are seeing a neverending, culture-splitting battle to equate homosexual unions with those between men and women. No matter how you slice it, they’re not equivalent, and that’s why most states [...]

“The knowledge of truth, combined with the proper regard for it and its faithful observance, constitutes true education.”  — Joseph F. Smith
We believe that the January 6, 2009 ABC World News report by Charlie Gibson, Protecting Teens From Dating Violence was well intentioned as are all dating violence interventions and programs. However, the ABC report, [...]

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Assistant Secretary John Torres were among 16 federal agency and private organizational leaders in the Oval Office who witnessed the signing of H.R. 7311, the William [...]

The Definition of Manhood
Mention the word feminine; most people understand it instantly. Jessica Alba, Beyoncé, and Scarlett Johansson come to mind. Now, try masculine. Puzzled? Stymied? That’s because the definition of manhood is in constant flux and dilution, as men have allowed misandrists — male and female — to marginalize them. There’s no better example [...]

Rubber Screwdriver
The nonstop TV commercials touting cures for erectile dysfunction paint a dismal picture of widespread male inadequacy. It’s as though every handyman in America is trying to fix his wife’s pipes with a rubber screwdriver. Nonsense. According to the National Institutes for Health (NIH), only about 5 percent of 40-year-old men and 15-25 percent [...]

Ulf Andersson, a father’s rights activist in Sweden, the founder and spokesman for PappaRättsGruppen, discovered something very interesting about the Dallas DART advertising campaign   J.P.

The State of Florida has a very interesting Constitutional provision, one that should be expanded to include the federal level: Lawyers are not permitted to run for non-judicial offices.

True liberty can exist only when justice is equally administered to all.
– Lord Mansfield

The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) ignores male intimate partner victimization (IPV). In its mission statement the OVW makes it clear that it is only concerned with the victimization of women and not men.
If you search for a federal program [...]

Compassion is the basis of all morality. –Arthur Schopenhauer
Many years ago as a law enforcement officer I became very much interested in the issue of domestic violence. It was obvious then that victims of violent and injurious domestic violence incidents were not being extended proper compassion, support and intervention by the criminal justice system. [...]

Just what presidential team is more likely to support fathers? The current field is not promising.
SARAH PALIN: The recent finding by an Alaskan bi-partisan panel that Palin unlawfully abused her power by pursuing her family’s grudge against her ex-step brother (Trooper Mike Wooten) following his ugly divorce from her sister demonstrates that Palin might not [...]

Hillary supporters do not despair: You do have a woman on the Obama ticket, and her name is Joseph “Jo” Biden. When Obama talks about wealth distribution, he seldom, if ever, mentions any related programs by name. But you can bet your last dollar – and you won’t have much else left by then – [...]

If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes. –Kelvin Mackenzie

The saying “As goes California, so goes the Nation,” never has been more true than for Domestic Violence Awareness Month 2008. On October 14, the California courts led the nation in bringing public awareness to a previously hidden Domestic Violence issue — that of battered men — and subsequently ruled that battered men deserve equal [...]

Joe Biden has called his contributions to and passage of the Violence Against Women Act the proudest moment of his career. Barack Obama has voiced his support and pride in his running mate in relation to the act repeatedly, even in presidential debates. But civil rights groups oppose the law, which was dealt yet another [...]

With the release of Restraining Order 911 Ron Lasorsa offers resources, tools, and encouragement to fathers who may be wrongfully accused of violence and abuse.

WASHINGTON – One million claims of domestic violence are filed each year that are false or unnecessary. Such allegations prevent the true victims of abuse from getting the help they need. Today RADAR, a victim advocacy group, released 10 recommendations to curb such frivolous accusations.

I trust that everything happens for a reason, even when we are not wise enough to see it. – Oprah Winfrey

Juris Contemptus
On the evening of October 2, 2008, Senator Joe Biden debated Governor Sarah Palin at Washington University in St. Louis. This sole matchup of the VP candidates was designed to measure their strengths and weaknesses. In fact, it was yet another opportunity for Biden to expose his ideological and unconstitutional bias towards women. He [...]
