Family Models


The models contained in the following text box describe three possible different sets of relationships, each between fathers and mothers, between parents and their children, and between parents, children and the state.

The models are based on information contained in Appendix B of Suffering Patriarchy, by Robert Lindsay Cheney Jr.

The models mention the term "parens patriae".  That literally means "parent of the country". [1]

Model A

Patriarchal Model

With Model A, both father and mother are joined as one holy union, under law, with child and State subordinate to family.
   Model A provides for a high success rate for individuals and for a divorce rate of about one percent.

Model B

"Equity" and Gender-Neutral Model

Model B is nothing more than a fraud.  When it comes into existence it immediately devolves into Model C.  The impossible condition of "equality" cannot exist in law.  Under both Model B and C the State is the true parent and decides everything.
   Model B is based upon the "rational person" model of logic.   However, as Vert Vergon, the father of "Joint Custody" in California, admitted, this model doesn't work.  Every time a judge interferes in this model, he will devolve his decision to Model C (the real Model B).
   Model B works where there is no conflict.  However, that is the true fraud, because the State, acting under the doctrine of Parens Patriae, wants both parties to admit themselves and "volunteer" into Model B.  The State wants this because it understands that once it is the arbitrator (or master), it controls the family (the American base-unit of production) and thereby assumes the Model C function.
   Once the State assumes Model C, any conflict comes under the purview of the government, who is then the real father or husband.
   Model C is factually the antebellum South's slavery-based model.

Model C

Radical 3rd-Wave Feminist Model – "Enslavement", "Protected Class", "Entitlement"

Under "Entitlements", this is the real mode to which Model B will devolve whenever it is implemented.  Under Model C:

  • Mother and child are viewed as one, as "protected class";

  • The State, as the ultimate parent, rules over all;

  • The father is enslaved, and

  • Family wealth is transferred to the State under pretense of "crisis" and "the best interests of the child".

Model C causes a low success rate for individuals and a divorce rate in the order of 63 percent.

  1. Parens Patriae means literally, "parent of the country." It refers traditionally to the role of STATE as sovereign and guardian of persons under legal disability. Parens Patriae originates from the English common law where the King had a royal prerogative to act as guardian to persons with legal disabilities such as infants.  (Quoted from: PARENS PATRIAE....GOVERNMENT AS PARENT, Barefoot's World)


Additional Reading:

Marriage is found to be associated with substantially lower rates of mortality, for both men and women. Married men are predicted to be some 7.2 percent less likely to die over the period [1993 to 2000] than unmarried men. For women, the effect is smaller.
   Women married in 1991 are approximately 4.1 percent less likely to die over the period 1993 to 2000 than otherwise similar unmarried women.
