II) The power of feminism to destroy families is exemplified by statements like: "I don't want to lead the life that my mother had" or "most mother-women give up whatever ghost of a unique and human self they may have when they 'marry' and raise children. " The present feminist concept of women's "independence" really means a government-enforced entitlement to be paid for the rewards of being a mother, without the responsibilities that go with it: to men, to children especially, and ultimately to the world at large.

III) To accommodate this "independence" the marriage contract, which is not valued, recognized, nor enforced by the courts, is discarded by the woman. Women who want only the benefits and not the responsibilities of marriage are thereby permitted to throw the father of her children out while keeping the fruits of his labor, no matter how little she has contributed to their joint assets, no matter how unsupportive or unsympathetic she has been as a wife. The man must continue to support his children without the benefits of his marriage while his children lose the benefits of the two-parent family which he created and supported by this contract. The man who wants nothing more than a family and its rights and responsibilities is today powerless to prevent this.

IV) This creates and supports fatherlessness which is the industrial world’s worst crisis. Father deprivation damages boys and girls alike and creates social pathology which harms every citizen. Fatherless homes absorb the majority of welfare spending and produce the vast majority of criminals. Most prisoners behind bars grew up in fatherless homes.

V) THEREFORE: We assert children have the right to be raised and cared for by their fathers. Similarly, fathers have the right to preserve their incomes and families. Enforcing said rights will eliminate incentives for divorce and illegitimacy; stop fatherlessness; stem violence; greatly diminish welfare spending; remove lawyers from family affairs; free police to fight real crimes; reduce the public debt incurred by attempts to replace fathers with government subsidies; restore incentives and vitality to our economy; reduce taxes; and promote healthier, happier children who grow up with a greater sense of commitment to the society that raised them.

VI) HENCE, WE, THE UNDERSIGNED FATHERS AND FUTURE FATHERS RESOLVE to oppose all attempts to replace paternal love with sole-maternal custody abetted by government largesse. We resolve to fight the biased gender agenda by honorable, vigorous, and sustained means. We commit ourselves to protecting the family and honoring fatherhood. We vow to provide physical, legal, and emotional care to our current and future children in exchange for equal rights, respect, and the removal of all government involvement from family matters.
