Baskerville Hounds Amnesty International

Dr. Stephen Baskerville, a leading voice in the father’s rights movement, is out with his latest article, posted on lewrockwell.com, regarding human rights abuse in Sweden.  There, as here, men in custody or divorce battles hold few, if any, cards, and are subject to spurious claims of domestic violence as a known and proven method of smearing them so effectively as to ruin their reputations or cost them their freedom.  (This should not be taken as referring to those who commit actual violence, who deserve to be treated like anyone else committing an assault, etc.)There, as here, men rarely gain custody of their children when a relationship ends.  three, as here, even the organizations that are supposed to stand up for human rights often fail to do so when confronted by angry feminist demands for political correctness.  In this case, the culprit is Amnesty International.  Dr. Baskerville lays out the sad details here.

For this writer’s part, having assailed the same judicial thugocracy in the past, it is always heartening to have Dr. Baskerville continuing his life’s work of standing up for fatherhood against the extremists bent on undermining the foundations of our civil order.  This is all the more necessary as our natural allies in this fight, conservatives, are all too often AWOL, active supporters of the feminist agenda, or unaware of the dangers it poses because of their attention being focused elsewhere.  It would be tragic win every other battle if the critical one – for the survival of the family, the basis of civil society – should be lost.  The more who educate themselves about this, the better our odds of continuing to have a society worth fighting for.
