The sad truth is that we MEN have been demonised by vested interests. A sick perverted few have been used as an excuse to label us all, and yet, the same sick few of the other gender have excuses galore... and are treated differently by both society and law.
So stand up to them!! The research, for what its worth, says that men are a hugely powerful influence in a child's life, be it boy or girl, so name it up; I do.
Anyone who looks sideways at me for being a father, and eventually grandfather, I hope, are going to get a backhand to the face, with a closed hand.
