Do Not Marry, Do Not Have Children

In my circle of friends, family and marriage are big deals--chastity and purity are virtues, parents should spend time with their children, and divorce is wrong (or at the very least, a tragedy). So some may find it surprising that PHC professor Dr. Baskerville has written an article in American Daily entitled "Advice to Young Men: Do Not Marry, Do Not Have Children."

The article is based on his recently published book, Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family. I haven't read the book yet, but the thesis of his book is that the court system and the family services organizations are so influenced and controlled by feminist assumptions about the poorer qualities of men, and fathers in particular, that men are often victimized in these courts and by these services with no trial or fair hearings. Treated as guilty until proven innocent, fathers are deprived of time with their children and forced to pay child support that may be beyond what they are able to afford.
