Historically, men and women were confined to rigidly defined social roles determined by sex. Women were expected to find a man to protect and provide for them, and then stay at home and raise children. Men were expected to protect and provide for women, through military service and employment outside the home. Personality traits were ascribed to match and reinforce this paradigm. Men came to be stereotyped as dominant, aggressive, non-nurturing. Women came to be stereotyped as passive, frail, and nurturing.
The past fifty years have seen a wholesale rejection of this Gender Paradigm. Educational programs and a wide array of anti-discrimination laws ensure that women are no longer confined to traditional sex roles, and that they have at least as much opportunity for employment outside the home as men traditionally had. For the most part, they have been successful. Excluding farm labor and self-employment, women now outnumber men in the workforce. Women now serve alongside men in military combat positions.
This course examines whether family courts have kept pace with these changes, and explores possible explanations for why they have not. The focus of this course is on the operation and reinforcement of gender bias in the areas of child custody and domestic violence.

More than you may think and fewer than we would like…
I may need assistance from your organization. I am currently being hunted by leftist extremists intent on doing harm to males and families. I have critical intel acquired from government sources that can be used to acquire funds and resources to assist in the recovery of the nuclear family both here in the West and abroad. If I visit your location I will need quarters and a secure T4 line and access to local and federal law enforcement resources. Please reply. MOS 1820, at your service. Time is a factor. I am traveling HEAVY and tired.
What’s scary is how obviously disingenuous many of these laws are. I remember the case where NOW (National Organization for Women) protested against alimony reform, even when they KNEW a plaintiff was a 72 year old man with dementia, Michael Morgan who was unable to get proper care because his lifetime alimony left him unable to afford it. HE had to pay $2400 a month. He was bedridden. I’m not sure if this comment format allows youtube links, but here it is:
