No.
I can send a letter to the MP
"Member Of Parliament"
Or your equivalent to congress
Yeah get in touch with ur MP, what constituency are u
Constituency
?
What's a constituency
Like your borough or your state?
The place the MPS represent just Google your postcode and say constituency in it and it should tell u that and ur mp
And you can go to the press.
How much would they care tho, a lot of news over here is quite safe in what it says
Well maybe an alternative source can report on it.
Yh
@Deleted User If you want what you say added to our website as an open letter, please do let us have a copy.
That'd be an interesting read and one that would help people learn about the movement
I think it really would be.
@Men Are Human So divorce court discrimination isn't straightforward. The MensLib stat is that of those men who contest *to the very end*, 50% win child custody. Of course, what they don't say is that women win more than that.
It is generally easier to prove discrimination with child custody than it is with divorce asset separation
..
Discrimination with respect to asset discrimination is still there. I think the easiest way to colloquially demonstrate that is to say that if you go asking for a divorce as a woman you'll get completely different advice than you'll get as a man
Basically sometimes a man is downright lucky if he gets 80-20 in a divorce due to alimony and rules concerning the marital home
..
HOWEVER, family court is a complete cesspit
While you hear plenty of stories of men getting insane splits like 80-20 and ending up lucky
You also hear stories of wives who get completely and utterly screwed
If you watch Divorce Corp, I think you can get a pretty good feel that family court can be a maze of incestuous relationships between lawyers and judges, so sometimes husbands who pick the right unscrupulous lawyer can more or less clean out their wives
..
As I was saying child custody is a lot easier to demonstrate
You can see that in Canada contested orders go 60% mother, though the uncontested cases are less bad than the US
For the US stat, well, make some estimates based on Fig 1.
Uncontested cases go very poorly for fathers, and contested cases don't go as well for fathers as they do for mothers.
..
Finally, the RBOMI article on divorce is really, really good: https://www.reddit.com/r/rbomi/wiki/main#wiki_3._discrimination_in_divorce.2Ffamily_courts
Okay, there's a bit more: https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/4jd3xb/is_there_really_a_court_bias_against_men_in/
So it turns out that after remembering a bit of research I did, the study that men get custody 50% of the time in court cases was a woozle
Basically everything tends to refer back to the "Gender Bias Study of the Court System in Massachusetts"
Basically when feminists cite works that cite it they say that when men contest they get 50%, but neglect to mention women are more successful
