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 LevingDr. 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.
