THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Masculine and parental authority ended in March 2013
Did any of you men notice that your masculine and parental authority ended last month?
"the definition of domestic violence will now include ‘coercive control’. The previous definition defined domestic violence as a single act or incident. The new definition recognises that patterns of behaviour and separate instances of control can add up to abuse - including instances of intimidation, isolation, depriving victims of their financial independence or material possessions and regulating their everyday behaviour"

@1party4all @helenashead @itsjustahobby lose self-esteem etc... All of those things are emotional abuse and there are other examples too.

@emmatofi @helenashead @itsjustahobby I see that your agenda is to completely undermine masculine and #parentalauthority.#evil #feminsm
— Claire Khaw (@1party4all) April 12, 2013
@1party4all @helenashead @itsjustahobby Not at all. Our agenda is to raise awareness of abuse & promote equal, healthy relationships.
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
@emmatofi @helenashead @itsjustahobby That is what you say, but in the end you will undermine parental and masculine authority.
— Claire Khaw (@1party4all) April 12, 2013
@1party4all @helenashead @itsjustahobby We'll do no such thing; there's a huge difference between abuse & equality.

@emmatofi @helenashead @itsjustahobby They are two different words for a start.

@1party4all @helenashead @itsjustahobby Words spoken in an argument are totally different to sustained emotional abuse.

@emmatofi @helenashead @itsjustahobby You know this will instantly advantage the one with the grievance ie the wife and children of the man.
— Claire Khaw (@1party4all) April 12, 2013
@emmatofi @helenashead @itsjustahobby There has been no protest, has there, @fathers4justice @newf4j ? Too stupid or too scared?
— Claire Khaw (@1party4all) April 12, 2013
@1party4all @helenashead @itsjustahobby You're actually advocating a protest against a law change to protect abuse victims?! Wow. Nice.
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
@1party4all @helenashead @itsjustahobby As someone who escaped an emotionally abusive partner who left me suicidal, I find that disgusting.
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
So today I encountered someone who thinks the change in law to recognise emotional abuse is a terribly bad thing, which should be protested.
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
My mind boggles. Surely nobody is so ignorant that they genuinely think "emotional abuse" is just a label to hurt men with?! Jesus.
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
@katjevanloon Seriously, I can't even put into words how offensive I found the person's attitude. Apparently I hate all men. :-/

@joec @itsjustahobby Jesus wept... When even the BNP are kicking you out, you know you're crossing a major line. :-/
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
@itsjustahobby Just blocked her; not having that sort of person in my life! Those attitudes could be really triggering. :-/
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
@itsjustahobby Yeah, just very glad I blocked her; I think I was in danger of really taking her vile opinions personally. Not nice!!
— Emma Tofi (@EmmaTofi) April 12, 2013
How is that for rational debate, boys and girls? Disagreement, outrage, accusation, overt display of victimhood, abuse, smear and finally censorship - the tactic and refuge of the passive-aggressive feminist.
What does "triggering" mean?
The BNP are pussywhipped pussycats who will never amount to anything.

The role of parental advice in the avoidance of spinsterhood and illegitimate grandchildren
I know too many single women who never intended to be single but have found themselves, for one reason or another, without a man and unable to become a wife and mother.
A cartoon of a career woman saying: "Eeek! I forgot to have children!" is telling, funny and sad.
Yet, when one tries to address this issue, one is accused of giving ignorant "mumsy" advice, ie the advice that all women should make a point of finding a decent man who might be induced to marry them by the time they are 25.
No doubt if I had given this advice to these now single women in their late 30s when they were in their 20s they would all have told me to mind my own business!
I doubt if the mothers of these women would have given any such advice anyway. Most mothers have, to my knowledge, not been giving their daughters advice of any sort for several decades.
Why is that, I wonder?
Is it because they think all the rules have changed and that their advice would be considered old-fashioned, irrelevant and be ignored?
I think I can see why. Just pointing out that the existence and ticking of biological clocks, despite feminism and the advances of medical science, and the consequences thereof, has been found to be so incredibly offensive that an angry single woman in her late 30s has called me "vile", "narrow", "ignorant".
She asked: "Do you want me and all the other numerous women in my/similar position to kaibosh a man into having a child?"
Why, yes, of course! That is what women have been doing since the Fall of Man. Some of us do with greater subtlety than others. The ones who do it best are the ones who let the man think that the idea was all theirs. Sooner or later, our husbands will turn and say that we have changed, and that we tricked them into marriage and that they were fools to marry the shrews, nags and termagants we subsequently became, but that is their misfortune.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how you do it as long as it is done.
Parenthood is a life-changing and attitude-transforming experience, for with it comes the responsibility of being responsible for another person's life. This is so if you take it seriously, as an investment and as a distillation of all that you might have learnt that could be worth passing on.
It is NOT, as I have been trying to point out, about treating our children as pets, or giving them unconditional love.
What is it about parents these days that most do no such thing and do not even see it as their role to guide their children away from heartache and regret by some act of commission or omission?
How strange it is that moral authority is something the modern parent no longer sees as his or her role. Of course you cannot force anyone to listen to you if they do not wish to, but it is odd that no one even goes so far as to put themselves in a position to be able to say later: "I told you so". There is no need of course to go so far as to tell them that you told them so, but the option should be available.
It is the least we can do to discharge our duty to those we care about, by telling them so, even if they will not listen, when the situation remains capable of being remedied.
