Off subject slightly but do you guys get "Everybody Loves Raymond" wherever you are?

Worth watching IMO. Good for a laugh especially Raymond's Father but it appears to me to raise some quite interesting issues.

The one I saw today was regarding how the Mother's would ridicule the Fathers to their children.

And it appeared to be consensual....

I thought it must be a joke but apparently not:

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


But if I then go to www.standyourground.com home page and click on the forum link I find I'm logged on

Fair enough K9 but I am mainly concerned with mainstream media not some obviously feminist organisation.

Get my drift?

Why you should at all costs avoid posting full articles but just provide a quick summary of the article or alternatively a quote and a URL link if a viewer wishes to read further.

The Daily Mail zings ...
Harry

Is it my imagination or is the Daily Mail rallying to our cause? It seems to be doing a great job on Macca's wife and there is good antifeminist rhetoric to be found in it on a regular basis.

What say you?

Hi J

Well, it certainly does seem nowadays to publish quite a few articles that support much of what MRAs are saying, but I think that 'rallying' might be too strong a word. LOL!

My view is that the editor is probably becoming aware of the number of extra hits to his website that he might be receiving as a result of MRAs posting links hither and thither and that, as such, he is seeking to maximise his traffic by posting material that will likely interest 'such people' - which is, of course, his job!

The mainstream media are becoming far more aware of the threat that the internet poses and they are very sensitive indeed to where their website traffic is coming from.

And every hit on an article is a 'vote of interest' for its subject matter as well as a potential source of revenue.

As such, internet MRAs can do some good activist work simply by directing others to supportive articles on mainstream sites - rather than just copying the text and posting it up. Indeed, the latter will actually **reduce** the likelihood that supportive articles will be written by the mainstream because it will drain down the perceived interest factor as well as the revenue.

Hello Julian

Thank you for your email.

The WNC was set up to bring to government the informed opinion of women. It is a non-statutory body, which means that it is not set up under any specific piece of legislation. It was originally set up in 1969 under Harold Wilson's Government.
Hope that helps.

Kind regards

Mutanser Ashraf
WNC

"Gladly I will but the only reservation I have is using the words "Order in Council"

Is this a generic term or could this be a term used in Canada and yet no where else?"

The term is used throughout the former British Empire by all parliments patterned on it. The only difference inthe UK is the formality "by Order of the Queen's Privy Council"


Right I've sent a request for further information, so let's see what comes back.

If I don't hear from them I can always formalise the request using the Freedom Of Information Act.

Desperate letters about fathers who have been denied access to their children continue to pour in to our columnist Lesley Garner after she highlighted the plight of a single father last month.

How do you think Britain compares to other countries in the way that it handles the rights of separated parents?



There's a comment section and it's clear they are looking for comments from around the world so get to it people!

Before I aired the subject on this page I knew the statistics. Fifty per cent of all fathers lose touch with their children within three years of a family break-up. Being a mother, I assumed this meant a large number of men simply lost interest in their children over time, but you have taught me how the judicial system and the automatic bias of the courts towards the mother make it impossible for many fathers in our country to maintain a sustainable relationship with their children.
