So, I was putzing around on my web page tonight/this morning and I saw a new ad was posted using the service I subscribe to. The title of the ad was inocuous enough – Fathermag.com – so I clicked on it to see what it was all about.
I assumed that I was going to find helpful articles about being a father. You know, time management skills, disipline tactics, ways to manage work and parenthood, etc.. What I found, however, was a diatribe against feminism. Somehow, this “magazine” believes that the way to be a better father is to denigrate women and the feminist movement. At first, I read it with disbelief. “This has to be a joke,” I thought.
It’s not.
Here’s an excerpt:
I’ve already e-mailed my service to express my disgust and ask that it be removed from my page, if not the entire system. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous or need to vent some anger the web address of this site is http://www.fathermag.com/. If anyone knows anyone who might be interested in starting some kind of campaign, please feel free to forward this on. Their contact page is here: http://www.fathermag.com/contact.shtml
These “fathers” are in need of some enlightenment.
You can also express your displeasure to AdBrite for allowing this ad. Their contact form can be found here: http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/contact_form.php
Whew! Had to vent that somewhere or I wasn’t going to be able to sleep tonight.
