NOW Fires Back at Fathers & Families over Our Campaign to Ask DSM to Include Parental Alienation in Upcoming Edition

It's moments like these that I realize absolutely that many Feminist organizations don't just strive to improve the rights of Women, but specifically rally women against a man's attempt to do the same for themselves.

Honestly, the only reason they don't like it is probably because a male-oriented right's group is advocating it.

I agree with aglet - my frustration is palpable.

It's amazing the power women have... Really.

The following is a direct quote and it is how feminists feel about any man's claim to parental rights.

"This gender specific, abuse excuse, junk science can not be allowed to enter into the scientific community as there is nothing scientific about a syndrome/disorder whose only symptoms are a uterus, divorce papers, and bruises. I ask that you all to take action against legitimizing this outrageous theory by e-mailing the APA and asking your groups to do the same."

Please understand nothing in the above quote is true in regards to Parental Alienation Disorder. It is not gender specific, it is not an excuse for abuse, it is not junk science, and the symptoms do not include a uterus, divorce papers, and bruises.

How exactly does Parental Alienation meet the criteria for a mental disorder?
