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

"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"
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?
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.
