Dr. Gwendolyn Riddick should be alive. Her son should have his mommy. The Texas mom should be alive. Her toddler should have his or her mommy. The lives of these children are forever changed. Women and children are not valued or protected. The inhumanity is insignificant to abusive and empowered males. The insanity and craziness is in a male entitled system that requires loving and nurturing mothers to hand their precious children over to violent and sadistic monsters. Family court judges endanger women and children. Abusive fathers harm children physically and emotionally. They use their children as an extension of themselves to continue to torment mothers. Children would be safer in a matriarchal society. Women would also be safer. Women and children are not male property. Patriarchy dominated family court treats them as though they are. Women and children need, deserve and have a right to protection. They deserve to be together. Women need to continue to fight for change. Family court judges must be rendered powerless. Mothers must be allowed to love, nurture and protect their children. Mothers and children should be able to live together in peace.

Although we know matriarchy was and will be the re-balancing we need and the restoration to sanity, I think the Coalition should keep focus on removing family court access to women and children custody cases.

I’m currently fighting for my parental rights. I have not seen, spoken to or allowed any form f

Of communication with my daughter. My ex husband has enforced an order or protection against me. We have been divorce for 9 years. And he have been manipulating my daughter for years . Now the camels back has broken. I was forced to have my finance leave our home for good and end the relationship due to the situation. I’m force to pay the bills on my own lawyers fees and now the ex is filing for child support. I work 1 jobs already for 12 to sometimes 16 hours a day I can’t do anymore. I miss my child my life line my best friend the reason I breath. That monster has been waiting to do this me since the day I divorced him. He abused me in our marriage and when I left it was not so pretty. An arrest and CPS was involved so no he is trying to do the same to me. He has my daughter telling lies . And making out to be a negligent and abusive parent. There is no one on this earth that would detest to that. We go to court and all I feel like is a change purse attached to my lawyer a muzzled side piece. With no say. I’ve come to find out that my daughter doesn’t even know why she can’t see me mind you she is 15 no infant. And she is smart high honor roll star. Athlete you name it she is an exemplary student. I am on this run away train and being railroaded and I can’t get off. The lawyers are bullying me in taking a plea to accept charges of abuse and neglect just so they can meet their time line. They don’t care about me as a person and what happens to me or my daughter one the case or docket goes away. The nightmare needs to end. I don’t know how to do it.!I will go broke in the mean time

The system is horrible. How am I supposed to survive. I don't have the support of my family financially its just not there. Of course I will support my daughter I did it for years. But how do i I pay by bills do I go live on the streets in the meantime? I can't get help because they look at what you make not what you actually take home and what your responsible for. In my state they base child support off your Gross pay How can that possible be! I don't take that money home at least 30% goes to the government, I rent in one of the most expensive counties in the US. (I expected to stay in the school district so he can use my address so my daughter can go to school)renters insurance (required in my state), Internet and TV to the minimum. Electricity not to mention the inflation over the summer. A Car payment because last year someone decided to run a red light with no insurance and total my lease., car insurance, maintenance on a car. gas, health insurance, Medication out of pocket my insurance will not cover my meds been fighting it for a year over $100 a month. not tax deductible either. not enough for a deduction. Food i'm a vegetarian, on Keto so I've reduced the typical groceries in half. I don't drink, I have no more friends because they associate with my Ex and my daughter, I don't go out or indulge in getting my nails or hair done. I do it myself. ( i don't neglect myself ) My point is how much more . the cost spent out weighs how much money actually goes in the bank. So how can a system say you need to pay your Spouce $x xx amount of dollars when he makes double as much as you do has two adults bringing in an income when I am doing it alone. They simply don't care who gets hurt who goes broke. they look at a formula at that's the end of it. The Court system is a Circus. I'm just a money bag strapped to a lawyer. and we are herded through the Courtroom like cattle. Not even spoken to only the lawyers. and ushered out with no regard of your feelings or if you have questions comments etc. Your bullied to be on their timeline. I never thought I would be in this situation ever in my life. I have never cried so much in my life this hurt will be forever in my heart.

America needs the ERA passed, that is at the root of legalized trafficking and commodifies women and children as well as elderly when protections are sought that are inferior or non existent in contrast to protections for perpetrators. That said, all patriarchy cannot be characterized as bad, to do so undermines good fathers who want to raise strong competent daughters who are in effect feminists.

You seem to be misunderstanding patriarchy. Patriarchy is male dominance over and subjugation of women. That is never a good thing.

This speaks to the problem of general definitions perception: ‘the patriarchy’ as it oppresses others in many countries is to be addressed as actively as possible. The original definition of a true patriarch is a positive male role model, the same as & no less than a good matriarch runs a household or family in developing the full potential of each member. It is about example rather than dominance. Having experienced both, ‘the patriarchy’ includes males in any appointed or elected authoritative role, father or otherwise from systems to dis functional or male dominated abusive families. Men in the latter category are part of the patriarchy & incapable of the title of an actual patriarch that raises leaders to succeed him with honor, daughters & sons alike.

Jesus' entire 'campaign' once he began the destiny as an adult to abolish religion, born as a Jew, against the oppression of religion and the use of biblical text to twist interpretations of holy scripture (that continues to this day) and oppress others, most then being unable to read, was funded by the wives of the wealthy, who were matriarchs with husbands and functional families, significant community influences, and that during Jesus entire impact from the time he began to make his message public until his death he was in essence 'feminist' in his support and endorsement amongst and counter to men bent on control to uphold and reinforce the power of women in society and the importance of children, and willing to die on those principles, exemplifying what a true patriarch actually embodies.

About WHAT religionists know but never seem to c a r e ? OR by them ... ... purposefully and determinedly bloviated, for that matter = Within the last ~600 years worth of SCIENCE and within some of those years' WE Women's AGENCY of our OWN ... ... without any spouse or physician or priest or patriarch FROM whom we had had, previously, to get their permission for A(NY) Thing ? Tossing Jebus Crikey or Buddha or Mohammed or Koranic or Talmudic verses or any gods ( and other magical supernaturalities, ya' know, angels ! ) ONTO us ? THAT is ... ... INSULTING to Us. INSULTING to Us of Reason and Science. Mucking INSULTING.

Maybe insulting to you. Truth is truth, regardless of source. Male hating is not a solution & an insult to our sons. We are responsible as women to choose the best role models they can relate to who are only interested in supporting their growth & potential so that they may become true patriarchs in balanced households & in service to their communities. The point is women can shape what that looks like as they did in Jesus’ time, that religion has removed to continue suppression & oppression & embodied much of what is called the patriarchy. A true patriarch is the opposite & aligned with individual growth.

This ? This is TOOOO much. FIRST of all, there is NO PROOF and EVIDENCE whatsoever of such a magical being = both man and god = as Jebus Crikey. Secondly, a couple millennial - old bunch of words from O N L Y men ( NO woman wrote any religion's " scripture " ) ... ... ONLY men who had NO S C I E N C E to themselves ( for, YET, ANOTHER MILLENIUM of years to come ) and, lastly, ALL religion everywhere ? Every religion including Buddhism got its START from PATRIARCHY / from ONLY men. ( Dr Lerner's the C R E A T I O N of Patriarchy ).

" good " sperm sources ? = INsignificant. K N O W thus FOR ~12,000 and more years over ALL the World = “ I am over the passivity of good men. Where the hell are you? You live with us, make love with us, father us, befriend us, brother us, get nurtured and mothered and eternally supported by us, so why aren’t you standing with us? Why aren’t you driven to the point of madness by the rape and humiliation of us ? ” from Ms Ensler and " To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that

they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women).

All or almost all of that which pertains to love,

most straight men reserve exclusively for other men.

The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor,

whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to,

whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and

whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire

... ... those are, overwhelmingly, other men.

In their relations with women, what passes for respect is

kindness, generosity or paternalism;

what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal.

* From women THEY WANT DEVOTION SERVICE and SEX.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man - loving. " from Dr Frye

SO: MATRIARCHY. NOW the TIME it is. Worldwide.
