(79,344 posts)It's possible that some people have only been exposed to the very real negativity of many men's rights groups. Hence, it's important to clarify: not all are bad. And those that focus on a positive thing -- men being responsible parents -- have a duty to confront individuals and groups that spew hatred. The fact that some might not understand initially -- be it a result of the limited information they have been exposed to, or weak analogies -- is no excuse for remaining silent.
Family court cases where custody is decided are not about the historic injustices done to people in the past. They are about what is best for children. Sometimes, one parent is toxic; there are parents who attempt to use children as pawns. Other times, financial incentives come into play. And in still others, both parents do care about their children, and want what is best for them, but are simply unable to agree with each other. In such instances, both parents deserve a fair hearing. So do their children.
