Dear Walter,

"The Myth of Male Power" doesn't begin to address the issues which
need to be put on the table to restore responsible fatherhood.  It is
a milquetoast critique of feminism, written by a past and possibly
present feminist, who is not a father and who doesn't really
understand the issue no matter how much he talks about and studies it,
who really does know how harmful feminism has been to society.

And Canada bans HIS book??  How do you think they would like "The Case
for Father Custody", by Dr. Daniel Amneus (posted at
http://fathers.zq.com/cfc.htm ??

This should be REQUIRED reading for a tribunal which thinks it
understands "human rights"!!!

Sincerely,

John Knight
