Boy Scouts of America has completed its girlification by finally dropping the last mention of "boy". It's the latest move by 'progressives' determined to pathologise masculinity and erase men, says Heather Mac Donald.

As far as one can tell, Batman was protesting on behalf of "Fathers 4 Justice", rather than the rather more unsavoury "Justice for Fathers" (who are a fairly reactionary anti-gay, anti-single parent "family values" group).
The laws and policies he was protesting are similar to those in force in Ireland, and arise from a traditional view that children are better off with their mothers. This assumption manages the difficult feat of being offensive to both sexes. It patronises women ,by classifying childcare as exclusively "women's work" while implying that men have no ability and therefore no role when it comes to taking care of their own kids.
Legally, the courts are required to place the welfare of the child their primary concern in deciding the custody issue. In practice, many judges tend to slip too easily into the clichéd "dead-beat dad/Long-suffering mother" view of things, and give full custody to the mother almost as a matter of course.
Despite the nature of the protest, this is actually a valid issue, and one I personally would like to see speedily resolved, as it'll give John Waters one less thing to complain about.
By the way, what's "class caché"?
means absolutely nothing, I just thought it would get the snobbier people interested, get them thinking there was a turn of phrase used by those who live behind proper lace curtains that we in the gutter hadn't heard yet.
