Families
and Fathers Conference 2005:
Civil Rights Leaders or Reactionary Patriarchs?
The American Coalition for Fathers
and Children and a myriad of Michigan fatherhood organizations
are sponsoring the
Families and Fathers
Conference 2005: Healing Our Families--A Time for Change.
Speakers include: ACFC President Stephen Baskerville;
family law attorney
Jeffrey
Leving;
Dr. Ned Holstein of
Fathers and Families
of Massachusetts; Dr. Steven Walker of Families in Transition;
and others. Many conference attendees and supporters see the
fatherhood movement as the civil rights movement of our era.
Feminist writer
Amanda Marcotte
disagrees. She believes that both the Conference and the fathers'
movement as a whole seek to "reverse feminist gains in divorce
and custody laws," and help men "use children as a tool" in
order to "regain control of their ex-wives' lives." Marcotte
labels
Parental Alienation Syndrome a "fake syndrome" and says
"the underlying issue for a lot of fathers' rights activists
is paying child support."
Marcotte joined Glenn on
His Side with Glenn Sacks
on Sunday, June 5.
