Sex-selective abortion and infanticide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If the biological parents want their infant child of an undesired sex out of their home but yet allow the infant to live, then they give away the child for adoption or export for foreign adoption. Son preference is also due to deeply rooted Confucian traditions, and Chinese parents desire sons in order to make familial propagation, security for the elderly, labor provision, and performance of ancestral rites. Hindu tradition says that sons are mandatory in order to kindle the funeral pyre of their late parents and to assist in the soul salvation. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sexist_parenting   (1264 words)

FNF Press Release   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) We need a 'policy for parents' and it needs to be non-discriminatory by sex and non-discriminatory by whether or not the parents live together. The need is to share parenting better between the parents and the wider family and to ensure that, if the parents separate, the children keep the love and care of both parents and members of their wider family both sides of the divide. It is particularly important that the reduction in the amount of time children spend with a parent as a result of their mother working is compensated for by more time with their father. www.fnf.org.uk /news/press_release/041111.htm   (642 words)

5. Gender. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996 A glance at any newspaper or five minutes in front of the television news will produce evidence to show that people are changing their language to accommodate concerns about fairness to both sexes. Finally, it is important to remember that avoiding sexist terms and constructions is no guarantee that what you have written will be free of gender bias. Sexist stereotypes, such as the assumption that all nurses are women or that all executives are men, can seem like the status quo—the way the world “is”—especially when you are distracted by a deadline or concerned about some other feature of your writing, such as its organization or its tone. www.bartleby.com /64/5.html   (690 words)

Sexist parenting Sexist parenting (usually gender-selective abortion, and sometimes gender-selective infanticide if the fetal gender revelation is outlawed) is the preferring one gender of a child over the other, especially preference of sons over daughters. Many parents prefer to raise sons than to raise daughters, hence son preference. Chinese tradition says that most parents want their first child to be born a male. www.1-free-software.com /en/wikipedia/s/se/sexist_parenting.html   (548 words)

§ 27. parent / parenting. 5. Gender. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996 The verb parent is one of those intriguing words that is used metaphorically before a primary or concrete meaning has established itself. With parental leave for new parents gaining in practice and fathers more involved in child-raising, both the term parenting and the job of parenting have risen to new heights of acceptance: even President Clinton has said, “I think parenting is the most important job in this society. Nonetheless, the term parenting has had many critics, perhaps because it derives from a verb that was made from a noun in the manner of contact and modem. www.bartleby.com /64/C005/027.html   (331 words)

Writer's Guidelines Mothers and fathers are "parenting experts" too, and we rely on their anecdotes and experiences as sources of wisdom in our articles. When selecting parents to interview, please try to include both mothers and fathers, and keep in mind that families have many configurations and many cultural backgrounds; we would like this diversity to be reflected in the pages of the magazine. We encourage parents to interpret their babies' behaviour in this context (my toddler is having a tantrum because she's frustrated and overwhelmed, not because she's "naughty"), and to stay on their child's side. www.todaysparent.com /corpinfo/article.jsp?content=20030416_171629_4196   (3152 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) It is not true: that the sexist concept of primary caretaker is exclusively a female function; that men initiate most divorces; that a man walks away from his family carefree; or that men are responsible for family violence in general. Psychological theory as well as constitutional considerations argue for parental autonomy and family privacy when their is no direct evidence that the interests of the children are jeopardized in the process. Parents, whether married or divorced, should have the opportunity to meet the needs of their children and to maintain family ties without state interference. www.ncfc.net /nhreport.txt   (11363 words)

Sex-selective abortion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Sex-selective abortion is the practice of aborting an otherwise-desired fetus after a determination (usually by ultrasound but also rarely by amniocentesis or another procedure) that the fetus is of an undesirable sex. It is believed to be responsible for at least part of the skewed birth statistics in favor of males in Mainland China, India, Taiwan, and South Korea. Parents may wish for a male child because in many cultures only a male will carry on the family name, because they believe that a male is needed for work, or because they wish a male to earn an income needed to support the parents in their old age. www.bidprobe.com /en/wikipedia/s/se/sex_selective_abortion.html   (214 words)

GENDER: parenting strategies by Dr. Marilyn Heins Parents should model gender neutral behavior by sharing household tasks and assigning chores regardless of gender. What is important is that as parents we NEVER LIMIT a child's horizons because of OUR preconceived notions about what a boy or girl should like or do. Chances are the boy will soon tire of dolls, not because of what the parents say or do but because his peers will tease him about it or lead him into "boy" games. www.parentkidsright.com /pt-gender.html   (869 words)

Parenting Time Schedules For Infants and Toddlers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Lund reports that children who have been deprived of one parent often express a need to live with that parent––this is particularly true of boys who have been deprived of contact with their fathers. Research shows non–custodial parents who are deprived of contact are unlikely to remain involved in their children’s lives. Unfortunately, too many of these people, relying on outmoded sexist stereotypes about men and women, believe that infants and toddlers should live with the primary parent (the mother) and that the father should be allowed to visit only two or three hours every weekend with no overnights (Kelly 1991; Kelly and Lamb 2000; Warshak 2000). www.jointparenting.org.au /parenting_time_schedules_for_inf.htm   (594 words)

Conventional Parenting The Final Parenting is up to end with all the parenting rubish that invaded the world. Parents don't need manuals written by experts or grandiose theories written by philosopers to raise their children right. Parents should just be their children's best friends and treat them simply as people that come to the world knowing nothing but can grow to know more than them. p067.ezboard.com /fthefinalparentingfrm16   (79 words)

Mothering Magazine Article: The Son Also Rises Parents could name intense emotions like jealousy or loss, and acknowledge their universality, without rushing to change the subject, or sweep it away, or even cuddle our son into forgetfulness. Parents need to think hard about the environment they create for their kids because society itself is a powerful teacher. Parents need to be critical without carping, and we need to provide opportunities for our children to exercise judgment and criticism right from the start. www.mothering.com /articles/new_baby/dads/boystomen.html   (2328 words)

FNF Press Release   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Ninety per cent of parents, however, do not go to law but base their private arrangements on their expectation of what would happen if they went to law. In the event of family division and a failure of the parents to agree the normal order of parenting time still revolves around a fortnightly stay, a visit in the week and some holiday time, all subject to the approval of the mother. Loved and loving children and parents may lose two-thirds of their time together; more if there is continuing ill-feeling between the parents. www.fnf.org.uk /news/press_release/041110.htm   (654 words)

The Countess: Massachusetts - Presumptive Joint Custody While joint custody may work for parents who freely choose to try it, joint custody has been shown to be detrimental to children who are exposed to conflict between their parents. A particular set of parents can pull off shared parenting, as can a particular set of children (and the children's ability to handle joint custody must be paramount) and it's mainly because they have chosen it of their own free will and they wanted to make it work. Parents must admit the other is competent and agree not to accost the other in front of the child, or consequences apply. trishwilson.typepad.com /blog/2005/05/massachusetts_p.html   (5162 words)

Regina Shared Parenting Network If parents were seen as having no rights, then at birth, all parents would have to convince a judge it is in the child's best interest for them -- instead of some unrelated person or persons -- to have custody of the child. But one example is their opposition to the "friendly parent" rule: when conflict does make joint custody appear impossible, give sole custody to the parent most willing to foster the relationship between the children and the other parent. Suppose that, instead of being told by society that children are the natural property of one of them, divorcing couples are educated that they have an obligation to their children to continue sharing parenting --an obligation not to walk away, and also not to deprive the children of the other parent. users.accesscomm.ca /rspn/Property.htm   (2006 words)

PlanetOut Families Though available in only a few states, second parent adoptions, can be filed whether the child is a birth child or an adoptive one to the legal parent. Secondly, the questions of "psychological parenting" is being raised in many custody disputes, whereby when the gay or lesbian couple break up, the "other" parent is still being recognized by law as a parent deserving visitation and respect. If you are considering becoming a parent you need to look long and hard at your time, your energy, your finances and the quality of your intimate relationships in order to decide if parenting is really for you. www.planetout.com /families/article.html?sernum=388   (993 words)

Questions & Answers Even a parent with sole custody can be limited in the decisions she can make (visiting times or non-removal from the jurisdiction can be specified by a court order). A control-obsessed parent with joint custody can argue with more authority about issues in a child's life (e.g., can the child get counseling?) As for the parenting plan, one shortcoming is its' novelty as a legal construct. One way to get men to do more parenting from the start might be to tie future entitlement to the actual work done before any break-up, to the real link created with the child(ren), as would a primary caretaker presumption. www.womanabuseprevention.com /html/questions___answers.html   (2451 words)

Extended nursing: The human norm The fact that we live in a racist society does not mean that I must give in to it and teach my children that racism is fine. The fact that we live in a sexist society does not mean that I must give in to it and teach my children that sexism is fine. I teach my children to not be racist, not be sexist, not be classist, to respect everyone's religious beliefs (even those who don't respect ours), and so on. parenting.ivillage.com /tp/tpweaning/0,,40lb-5,00.html   (271 words)

Parenting and its Distortions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Both parents bring with them the legacies of their own childhoods, and the pain that they still cause in adult life. Too often parents respond to their children more as symbols of their own internal dramas, objects who will potentially shore up their failing senses of self or prove something to their own parents or bosses or friends, than as new human beings who offer new possibilities of relationship. All of this is completely consistent with parents being emotionally blocked in a wide variety of ways that prevent them from being emotionally real and honest with their children. www.empathicparenting.org /empathicparenting/parent.htm   (614 words)

scribblingwoman: Nasty taste   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Not sure what I think of all this: the gist of it is, apparently, a college student contacts someone out of the blue on IM to write her a term paper. All of which does not, however, take away from the self-righteous sadism of the "prank." I am particularly queasy about the tone of many of the comments to the original posts — and there are gazillion of them, dripping schadenfreude — particularly the ones that call the young woman a "bitch," a "dumb bint," andetc. With somewhat more information now, I can see how the situation was set up to provide a space for sexist discourse while offering the moral high-ground to those engaged in the discourse because, after all, she was a cheater. www.unbsj.ca /arts/english/jones/mt/archives/002077.html   (965 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) What was once called the "women's" section of the newspaper because the "lifestyle" (or some such euphamism) section when the papers realized that recipes, parenting and leisure articles were as much of value to men as women, and that many valuable works may get ignore by cubbyholing them into the women's corner. What I considered "the height of sexism" is not the very existence of a women's {magazinenetwork}, but that it considers "parenting" a topic that's better done by a women-only network than by a general purpose one. It *is* sexist, but we accept that level of sexism, just as we accept the racism inherant in "Jet" or BET, the ageism in Chickadee and seniors' magazines, and the religious bigotry evident in the United Church Observer. web.elastic.org /~fche/mirrors/old-usenet/evan-on-wtn   (1589 words)

CHILDREN ARE NOT *WHOSE* PROPERTY? If parents were seen as having no rights, then at birth, all parents would have to convince a judge it is in the child's best interest for them--instead of some unrelated person or persons--to have custody of the child. That parental legal rights should presumptively be equal rights follows also from the fact that marriage is supposed to be an equal partnership. Fry not only evades that evidence; she appeals to the minority of cases in which having a single good parent is less bad for the child than having a very bad two-parent environment. www.ualberta.ca /~fchriste/Whoseprop.html   (1976 words)

Amazon.com: Parenting Isn't For Cowards: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Dobson helped me realize that parenting is NOT a breeze, it is not joyful or as wonderful as everybody else says, it is the most difficult challenge of my entire life. While it's true that parenting isn't for cowards, much of the advice in the book is advice that might have been doled out about fifty years ago. This business partner sounds incredibly sexist in his hiring practices and should be sued for discrimination for ranking men according to how close they are with their dads, then says that females are oh-so-hard to figure out, perpetuating the myth of the "complex, hard-to-understand" woman. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0849940141?v=glance   (1248 words)

Mothers and Sons - Author Kerry Braye It would follow, as more and more mothers are having to engage in parenting on their own, whether by choice or by necessity, there would be an increase in weak and dependent young men. He refers to anti-sexist parenting methods and an understanding of what autonomy means, that is a right to be free individuals in an unfree world. More mothers today are choosing to parent their children in an anti-sexist environment. www.keltawebconcepts.com.au /emosons1.htm   (985 words)
