It may surprise some to see that the extent these problems have become an epidemic that has societies all over the
world in its grip. It is more than a firm grip. It is a choke-hold that may well bring civilization to its knees.
* According to author Karin Jäckel, the term fatherless society was coined by Vienna psychoanalyst
Paul Federn shortly after the First World War. According to Jäckel, Federn warned in connection with
that about the rapid decay of moral values which would thereby endanger the institution of the family and with that
the whole fabric of the State. (Karin Jäckel, Ph.D., Germany

Fatherlessness — A growing problem
caused by public perceptions on the importance of fatherhood
Fatherlessness is a growing problem and a controlling factor for crime
rates that is being driven by public perceptions. What are some of those
perceptions? Here are some trend-line comparisons that put public
perceptions of men and fathers into perspective, relative to other concerns
of interest to the public.
-
Fatherhood, Motherhood, Parenting
-
Fathers Rights, Mothers Rights
-
Men's Rights, Women's Rights
-
Fatherhood, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Hockey
In case you have trouble seeing where fatherhood ranks in that,
it is the magenta line on the bottom of the graph.

A heretical thought?
Western Chivalry
is the most prominent reason for the destruction of our families.
It permits the promotion of the family-hostile aims of radical, extremist
heterophobes and thereby the vilification of
men, a prerequisite for the destruction of our families — the fabric of any well-functioning civilization. Chairman
Mao knew that and laid out the blueprint for a course of social
revolution that clearly is the pattern followed by today's radical, extremist
heterophobes. Whether that is by intent or by
coincidence, the tactics are devastating all of civilization.
It isn't mere hype to point out the virtually identical aims of feminism and Mao Tse Tung. The ideologies of
both are rooted firmly in the communist ideology formulated by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. For a more exhaustive
treatment of that issue, check The Gender Agenda, by Dale
O'Leary, and
From the Personal to the Political, by Erin Pizzey.
Why is it that men, for fear of offending a minuscule minority, are so ready to forego their role of
protectors of everything we hold dear in society? It is the fear of being labeled being misogynist when criticizing
radical extremist factions of the women's
liberation movement.
Radical, extremist heterophobes have no
comparable compunctions. They are ruthless in the pursuit of their aims. Men and the rest of society just let it
happen.
This website illuminates the consequences of society's passivity in the face of the most far-reaching
make-over of society in the history of mankind.
This website is long on problems and short on solutions. That is an accurate reflection of what is happening.
When the reverse becomes true, we'll be well on the way to recovery, but it will be a long road to travel. It will
take many decades to undo the damages done to society during the last six.
If a finger must be pointed at the last major milestone on the road to the destruction of civilization, it is the
change in the education system to child-centered
learning in the 1930's. Largely, modern "advances" in making attempts to create "a better society" arose out of
that. They created nations of individuals who have lost much of the capacity to critically and objectively examine
social issues, mainly because flexible moral standards and subjective realities replaced absolute moral standards
and objective truths. The increasing emphasis on self-centeredness brought about the philosophy of entitlements of
individuals and the abrogation of the importance of the duty of individuals to society. Out of that arose our
current system of rule by minorities. Thereby the gains that democracy had made during the preceding 200 years were
largely eliminated.
We are now being ruled by a run-away, all-pervasive bureaucracy that is being dominated by family-hostile
interest groups. That bureaucracy is growing at an ever-increasing rate, because with each administrative order a
new government department is brought to life. Today, the majority of those orders concern themselves with subjects
that escalate the removal of fathers from their families and that accelerate the abrogation of the sovereignty of
families. The government increasingly inserts itself in the relationship between parents and their children. (Refer
to Moral Decline Equals Economic Decline? for an overview
of some indicators of current social and economic trends)
Our current system of government works according to the principles outlined by Ted Byfield, president of United
Western Communications, the publisher of Alberta Report, Western Report and B.C. Report (now called
The Report Newsmagazine).
The elites of today are not the ostensible leaders of government, church, commerce and industry. They centre
themselves instead in three areas of society: the interest groups, the media and the bureaucracy. The interest
groups propose, the media endorse, and the bureaucracy enact. The politicians and the leaders of business, cowed by
the media, acquiesce.
— Ted Byfield, in the Alberta Report , March 9, 1998, page 44
(for a consenting opinion, see
A Conspiracy For Fred,
2001 11 26)
It's a sobering thought, but it appears to be much worse than that. We must not forget that the interest
groups in power have so much power because they comprise many of the leaders of church, commerce and
industry, comprise and control much of the media, and, for all intents and purposes,
comprise, totally dominate and
control practically all of the bureaucracy.

Why Is The Nanny State
Descending On Us Like A Sack Of Bean Curd?, states that "America [by extension, the Western World] is succeeding
where the Soviet Union failed.")
