|
|
I went into Relationships Australia in Adelaide CBD today to begin mediation. My appointment was supposed to be with the on and only male left at the office for mediation, guess what! I quit.
I was blown away by all the females walking around without a male in site. I had to ask "Are there any males working here?"
Reply: "No all female staff for mediation"
Un f%$#ing believable. Needless to say I cancelled my appointment and made an appointment at Centercare with a male mediator.
I have had my fair share of female professionals saying they are not biased, a man needs every little bit of help he can get and it won't come from a female. |

Sign of the times ain't it?
The worlds being run by these 20 year old girls still living at home with their parents so they can save for their new inner city home. They have degrees in Law or Psychology, the two favorite young high powered female career choices, but they wouldn't have a clue about anything in a practical sense. No life experience other than what they've viewed on crummy American TV shows.
Look at primary schools, men just don't exist there anymore, except the odd "principle" perhaps. One of my sons primary schools had no males on staff,and this was a school with three or four hundred students. F#$ken warped, eh?
Thats ridiculous- no male councilors, to be honest I wouldn't even be bothered going to a councilor, male or female. 2 minutes with another DID is worth a lifetime of therapy with some textbook armchair expert. Dads who've been through the court system, and at the receiving end of female abuse are the experts in moving on, cause' they've BEEN there! Lol. |

My daughter is doing an honours degree in psychology at the moment she is 19 yo. However im sure she will be much more attuned to the inherent bias in the system than most of these girls. I brought her up myself for 10 years and she knows full well the value of a loving father in her life and all the discrimination i went through to rescue her from her mother and all the abuse she herself had to go through while the FLS and its minions stood by and did nothing to help her. In fact she is quite angry about it and says she may do her PHD on the subject.
You are right about mediators being all women though. I went to some mediation with an ex [ not my daughters mother ] some years ago, this was at my own request. I arrived 5 minutes before the allotted time and was told to wait as the counsellor had a client with her. After waiting for almost half an hour i was shown in to her room and there was my ex. She had been with the counsellor for all that time telling her what she admitted afterwards was a pack of lies. I had several pages of things i wanted to bring up. I only got to the second paragraph and was told to be quiet and that everything was my fault. I will NEVER EVER go to counselling ever again with a female counsellor and i would advise any one else not to bother either, you will NEVER get a fair hearing in my opinion, at least not from the current crop of feminasties. |

Yep some friends and family have looked at me slightly puzzled, but eventually with understanding that I request a male for mediation. I am probably missing some other areas which may help me also but male support where possible is just the beginning.
You know I think part of the problem is a typical aussie males stereotype image is 'the professional footy player', these guys (from my experience) concentrate more heavily on their game, skill and team support. I am sure this is where the saying"toughen Up" is generated from when a man gets upset and can't cope with female abuse. ie: I don't think the pro footy player type guy has as much care when it comes to detailed family matters.
I could be wrong and have found I have had these guys ganging up against me as well as the females when I go to tears missing my little boy.
Toughen up hey,,,,, I say go f#$% yourself whoever tells me so, and instead show some love and care for your children.
No wonder some guys top themselves.
I wish I studied law! I plan to follow this offices operations up with Equal Opportunities or whoever I can it is just soooo wrong! |

During job orientation, they were instructed to see every did as a dirtbag and to treat him as such. A common fls disease.
Please refer to 'Have Your Say > Dids Given False Hopes' for my definition of disease. |

Yes i attended another mediation the other day.
I was not impressed with this so called mediator and her abilities to mediate unbiased in various matters.
Straight off the mark the PTSD catch cry was pushed upon me as if it were the deciding influence in relation to the ex thing subjecting very young children to frivolous medical assessments.
The mediation failed in its entirety due to the failure of the other party to follow the orders of the court with respect of disclosure, Whats new .
Now its time prepare for a trial of approx 1 month so that the many medical practitioners invoved can be crossexamined in court on their so called medical qualifications and indeed child abuse.
I do intend on taking every medical practitioner involved in this to court to have them struck off, I will expose the goings on to the members of the public in relation to th ematters. |
