NCFM-LA in the News
January 31, 2008: I will be appearing on Los Angeles area radio station
KVTA 1520 AM (www.kvta.com) I will discuss the book recently published
by Oxford University Press, Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?: A
Debate (by Warren Farrell [with Steven Svoboda] and James Sterba). We
will also review some recent developments regarding intact (anti-
circumcision) rights, such as growing legal opposition to male
circumcision in Australia and the recent Oregon Supreme Court decision
in the ongoing circumcision case, Boldt v. Boldt.
Host and longtime friend Maria Sanchez has moved to KVTA from her
previous station, KKZZ. KVTA does carry a live feed so you can listen from
anywhere in the world. It is my understanding that recordings of the show
will be available a few days after the show on the KVTA website, www.
kvta.com.

NCFM-LA in the News
January 31, 2008: I will be appearing on Los Angeles area radio station
KVTA 1520 AM (www.kvta.com) I will discuss the book recently published
by Oxford University Press, Does Feminism Discriminate Against Men?: A
Debate (by Warren Farrell [with Steven Svoboda] and James Sterba). We
will also review some recent developments regarding intact (anti-
circumcision) rights, such as growing legal opposition to male
circumcision in Australia and the recent Oregon Supreme Court decision
in the ongoing circumcision case, Boldt v. Boldt.
Host and longtime friend Maria Sanchez has moved to KVTA from her
previous station, KKZZ. KVTA does carry a live feed so you can listen from
anywhere in the world. It is my understanding that recordings of the show
will be available a few days after the show on the KVTA website, www.

INTERVIEW WITH JUDGE JUDY
interview with Judith Sheindlin,
"JUDGE JUDY". Before becoming
"Judy" Judge Sheindlin was a Family
Court judge for 25 years. Click on
sentence above for transcript:
KING: Is child custody the toughest
when the man wants custody, the
woman wants custody?
SHEINDLIN: I think that when you
start out with a custody determination
in court you should start out with a
clean slate and that
means that both parents are equally
able and capable of taking care of
children unless one or the other
demonstrates the opposite, so that
should be the clear standard that both
people should have equal input, both
parents should have equal input in
the lives of their children.
And, if you start out with that as a
criteria and people know that, then
there's not going to be that jockeying
for position, which very often has a
financial implication. All too often
when there are custody battles the
best interest of the children somehow
fall by the wayside.
KING: Yes, I know. Is it generally a
rule in a custody case that the
woman has the edge?
SHEINDLIN: Well it should not be.
That's not the law. The law in this --
in every jurisdiction that I know of is
that parents stand on an equal
footing. Unfortunately, many of the
services that serve the matrimonial
courts, psychiatrists, psychologists,
bring their own predisposition in that
regard and they still say that, well,
children of tender years belong with
their mother because of this nurturing.
Well the truth of the matter is that's
not always true anymore. Mothers are
career women just as fathers have
careers and businesses and very often
now we say to fathers, "You have to
assume half the responsibility of
these kids, you know. You made
them. We're going to take parenting
together. We're going to be in there
in the delivery room together. We're
going to take six months off. I'll take
three. You take three. You're going to
change the diapers just like I do and
men buy into that."
All of a sudden when the marriage is
over we say "Just a second, you're a
second class citizen, you don't
deserve even our consideration as
being the primary parent." So that's
why I think that if you started out
with the premise that each parent is
supposed to have 50 percent of a
child's time so that a child can enjoy
a good relationship with both parents,
we would do away with a lot of the
custody battles.
You can't force feed a parent into
wanting to take on the responsibility.
What we're talking about is
discouraging these custody battles. If
you've got a father who doesn't want
custody, terrific, there's no battle.
But if you have two parents that say,
listen, we're equal, then what courts
should try to do is to work out a
scenario where each parent will have
the opportunity of spending quality
constructive time with their children.
KING: Some morons get custody.
