			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-43" title="lorraineandmichaela" src="http://trueloveisequal.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/lorraineandmichaela1.jpg?w=213&#038;h=315" alt="lorraineandmichaela" width="213" height="315" />One mother who has struggled for some time to have her daughters voice heard in a family court case has been jailed.  Her daughter was abused by her father during contact visits <a href="http://www.nowpublic.com/world/wi-judge-jails-mother-over-daughters-refusal-visit-father">ordered by Judge David Miron</a>.</p>
<p>Despite the abuse being substantiated, the judge continued to force contact and threatened penalties if her daughter did not go.  Knowing truly in her heart that she could not force her child to go to a place where she was harmed, she did not force her daughter to go.</p>
<p>The judge has ordered the mother to go to jail and for every 30 days her daughter does not attend contact, another sentence of thirty days will be placed upon her.</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://nhereyes.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">name of love</a>, Lorraine Tipton is now enduring jail for a crime that should never be a crime: one mothers love.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16" title="frommailordertotheshamdivorce" src="http://trueloveisequal.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/frommailordertotheshamdivorce1.jpg?w=512&#038;h=353" alt="frommailordertotheshamdivorce" width="512" height="353" /></p>
<p>Filopina mail order brides reduced after laws were introduced in 1990 where such agencies now are required to reverse advertise as a means to balance the scales on gender hunting.  Some might say, that we have come a long way from the cave man approach of hunting women.  Others say that the cave man has evolved only to lay more traps by fine tuning all pieces in the preys environment.</p>
<p>The balance of genders in areas of leadership is yet to become a reality and as it stands, a majority of leaders are men.  This means that decisions for just about every part of our landscape are made by men.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23" title="leadershipgender" src="http://trueloveisequal.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/leadershipgender.jpg?w=342&#038;h=436" alt="leadershipgender" width="342" height="436" /></p>
<p>It is why our advertising industry constantly uses women as props and continues to educate young men that it is all women are.  According to the <a href="http://www.apa.org/pi/wpo/sexualizationrep.pdf" target="_blank">American Psychological Association</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<div id="_mcePaste">One particularly pernicious effect of the constant exposure</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">to sexualized images of girls is that individuals and</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">society may be “trained” to perceive and label sexualized</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">girls as “seductive.” Studies have shown that adult men often</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">misperceive friendliness in adult women as sexual interest</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">(Abbey, 1982, 1987).</div>
</blockquote>
<div>The effect on women and girls is that they must conform to this image to survive in their surroundings:</div>
<blockquote>
<div>
<div>The research summarized in this section offers evidence of</div>
<div>negative consequences for girls when they are sexualized or</div>
<div>exposed to sexualized images and when others are exposed</div>
<div>to such images. First, there is evidence that girls exposed</div>
<div>to sexualizing and objectifying media are more likely to</div>
<div>experience body dissatisfaction, depression, and lower selfesteem &#8211; <a href="http://www.apa.org/pi/wpo/sexualizationrep.pdf">apa</a></div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>In the guardian, it was <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/feb/16/sex-object-photograph">reported</a> that brain scans proved what feminists have been saying for years:</div>
<div><span style="border-collapse:collapse;color:#333333;font-family:arial, sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-size:14px;"></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="border-collapse:collapse;background-repeat:no-repeat;margin:0 0 13px;padding:0;">&#8220;Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.</p>
<p style="border-collapse:collapse;background-repeat:no-repeat;margin:0 0 13px;padding:0;">Scans of some of the men found that a part of the brain associated with empathy for other people&#8217;s emotions and wishes shut down after looking at the pictures.</p>
<p style="border-collapse:collapse;background-repeat:no-repeat;margin:0 0 13px;padding:0;">Susan Fiske, a psychologist at Princeton University in New Jersey, said the changes in brain activity suggest sexy images can shift the way men perceive women, turning them from people to interact with, to objects to act upon.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p></span></div>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19" title="sexistads" src="http://trueloveisequal.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/sexistads.jpg?w=422&#038;h=465" alt="sexistads" width="422" height="465" /></p>
<p>It would be easy to resolve if it were only the advertising industry.  It is the ingrained attitudes that dates back thousands of years.   Women have been horrifically exploited as war strategies,  slaves, commodities and some of these attitudes still exist within laws.  Since the declaration of human rights,  many improvements have occurred for humanity and in some cases the back bone for laws that protect both women and children.   Alot of men now abhor violence against women and children.  Many laws have been established to stop violence against women and children.  Many people are now aware that it is not an issue to be ignored. But, like many of the struggles to champion humanist values, there have also been those who will go to great lengths to maintain the imbalance.</p>
<p>This has been identified as the backlash which began in the eighties, just as the status of women had begun to improve.  These are often the type of men who believe wholeheartedly that women and children should be &#8220;seen but not heard&#8221;.    Controversially, they consider themselves apart of a civil rights movement as if their plight is a great humane cause.   They claim that they are fighting for equal rights that women had robbed from them when they were obliged to monetarily support children.  Before child support, mens or fathers rights groups were non &#8211; existent. Now they threaten the very existence of child-mother relationships as they move in to use the children as a remote control to the mother.  On the family violence front, this is devastating as the statistics on family violence related deaths continue to climb.  These groups push for values that appear amicable, but in reality a shell to the agenda.  Below, is a comparison of propaganda that was used to promote cigarettes versus shared parenting.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31" title="50yearsofmotherblame" src="http://trueloveisequal.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/50yearsofmotherblame.jpg?w=655&#038;h=310" alt="50yearsofmotherblame" width="655" height="310" /></p>
<p>Both use children to promote a cause that can end in death and disability and both use guilt as a means to its agenda.  There are many reasons why fathers are absent, but most of those reasons are of the fathers hands.  Since the 1980s post the introduction of the controversial theory, &#8220;Parent Alienation&#8221;,  both children and mothers have been punished and even isolated from one another when they have raised concerns about violence or child abuse &#8211; Even when there has been a significant amount of evidence.</p>
