Stolen from SYG.. (i'll put the urls in later..)

If anyone can grab a vidcap of this programme - i'd highly appreciate it. I can host it and enable free download of it, but i have no means to acquire a capture of it... being out of the country does have that side-effect.

I'll have to check TV listings to see if this is repeated sometime.
BTW, heres a link to his book:
And Then There Were Three: The Exceptional Story of a Remarkable Surrogacy Family
And Then There Were Three: Diary of a Truly Single Father

Maybe this will prove to Feminazis that men can raise children on their own.
Its also a step in the direction of something actually resembling equality.
Also nice to see a bit of support for the man as well.


This guy is a muppet though...
This guy probably doesn't have any inkling of the way the courts are heavily biased in favour of women and in an event of divorce the man would probably lose custody of the kids.

A few people are outraged that a man doesn't need a woman to help raise the kids. But I bet that if you suggested to them that a woman needed a man to help raise the kids, you would get a load of abuse.
Apparently its 'empowering' for a woman to say that she doesn't need a man to help raise kids, but women and manginas get a bit uneasy when the shoe is on the other foot and a man can raise kids without women.
This person seems unable to accept this:
'Mother discrimination'? What about bloody father discrimination?
And as for 'daily female input', what about the millions of kids who don't have any contact with their fathers? Apparently no one gives a damn about that as long as the dads pay up their money.
And the bit about elderly mothers, wasn't this man 53 when the boys were born? It's not that old.

What does this mean? It's illegal to have surrogates in the UK?

I get the point of the article that illustrates that men can be just as effective as women in parenting their children alone. But the fact that the kids have no concept of Mom doesn't mean that it is necessarily right to plan families this way. This man is adapting to a system that is rigged to drive fathers away from families. He is not a model of what we all ought to become, in my opinion. I would rather have political rights restored to men and fathers, and the intact nuclear family restored. It's too bad that this is universally considered to be a pipe dream in the western world. All we have left is adaptation. Someday people will not even be able to start a family by finding surrogates in other western countries as this man did; men will simply have to move away from western countries altogether. That's where we're heading. Who knows how long it will take, but I doubt it will be very long. And when it does happen, will men adapt to accommodate the system yet again? Or will they shrug off the need to pursue the dream of a family, until society collapses under its own feminine weight?

I agree. True, a man can do just as good a job raising a child on his own as a woman can, maybe even better, depending on the individual. However, neither situation, is the ideal environment to raise a child in.
