GA LAW SUCKS!

It has been 12 days since I went to court in front of two men who have nothing to do with my child. One was my attorney, that scraped together $1900.00 to pay and the other was the man that contributed his sperm and nothing else to the making of my child. My son is four years old and doesn't know his father, and this was the father's choice, yet every year around the same time he pops up at my house demanding to see his son. And each time, I invite him inside my home. Yet according to him, I argue and do notlet him see his son. My attorney has my notebook that I have kept for five years documenting everything, from handwritten notes telling me to abort 2 weeks before I gave birth, to taped conversations where he tells me that he never wanted this child, to emails saying that I am raping him with child support. He never asks how his son is doing, despite the fact that his son has had 12 surgical procedures in the last four years, and has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I have held a job throughtout my pregnancy, saved money to stay home for at least 7 months after he was born and maintained a stable home environment. My son recieves the best care possible, he is being educated and has consistency in hislife. From 8mos to 3 yrs he received physical, music, occupational, speech and special instruction therapies. He is still receiving speech. He is sensitive to tempature, some noises, sudden changes, he still wears diapers, he has fits of rage when things are not perfect. I have worked extremely hard tp get him to this point. Now I am suppose to hand him over to a virtual stranger, because his DNA matches.
My attorney, instead of listening and working towards my needs and concerns sided with my son's father, disregarding everything. After 3 hours of "discussing" visitation, where all of my concerns were brushed aside, my son was not only legitimized despite this being used as an attempt at harrassment, but now he has visitation with someone who only has to go to 1 dr/s visit in order to be educated about his condition. Not only was I distraught, but I am now disheartened to know that the law in Georgia favors the fathers "rights" and do not listen to mothers who are genuinely concerned about their children.

Why the world has sucked....

I am a feminist. I want to get that straight out of the box. I believe that women should get more pay, more rights, etc. than men. It stands to reason, that as a species, we put up with a whole lot of crap, mainly from men. Which brings me to "why the world sucks".
Every war, skirmish or what have you is because some stupid man got pissed off at another stupid man and decided to start a war. If you look throughout history, men have dominated the world and have caused so many issues and the people who suffered the most are women and children. Case in point, the women and children in Afghanistan, Africa to name a few.
I'm sure there are going to be some idiotic men who are going to read this and think I am a bitter woman...in some ways, yes, I am bitter and angry. Angry because my son is going to grow up in a world where men are going to ridicule the fact that his mother is going to teach how to respect a woman in every way that he expects to be treated and respected. I am angry because there may be a time in his lifetime where some stupid man is going to test his masculinity just to prove something. And some politician somewhere will decide that my son needs to fight a war regardless of his convictions. Bitter because I know the reaction I will get once this post is read. Bitter because I can't rant about the injustice of it all and women will still hold back and let men continue to ruin our world and the lives of our children.
I wish women of the world would wake up, band together as a whole, we can be Americans, Russians, Chinese, and so on, it doesn't matter. If any revolution needs to be started it is the revolution of women and we need to take over and make this world better for our children and their children.
