A remarkable review! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
He talks about his own experiences twenty years ago as a surprised and unwillingly divorced father discovering that he was powerless in family court.
That had been my own experience a few years earlier.
However, like most men, I struggled on and didn’t “politicise” my experience.
My “coping” turned to political rage when, in 2015 in Australia, the feminist juggernaut (which I was previously unaware of) went full-bore with “domestic violence”, with it to be addressed by dismantling male “power and control”. What “power and control?”I thought, remembering my own experiences.
Since 2015 the feminists in Australia have kept dv (“epidemic”, “crisis”) at the front of everything, and the MSM and all major bodies, including the churches, have tagged along.
As the review points out, drawing from the book, these major bodies are all dominated by women, and dv has become a collective female hysteria. The few who have spoken against this are ridiculed, at best, or cancelled.
So glad to read of how Stephen Baskerville’s research portrays all this as the primary tool of the left to dismantle society, and which began with the destruction of black fathers, and empowerment of black women, decades ago. All the while with assent from conservatives and the right.
Waters is a fine writer, and it is an honor to know that my work touched a nerve with him. I was quoting him back in 2007 when I wrote Taken Into Custody, and he was still (I gather) a liberal mainstream columnist. I went back to see what I quoted and found that it was passages where he succinctly captures some of the most flagrant ironies and misunderstandings -- the kind of injustice that should have offended liberal-left sensibilities, and anyone with a sense of human decency, not only conservatives:
“Women are lone parents in 84% of cases not because men abandon their children,” writes columnist John Waters, “but because . . . the fathers have been constructively banished, with the collusion of the state, which encourages women to abuse the grotesque power we have conferred on them.”
“All of this domestic violence industry is about trying to take children away from their fathers,” says Irish Times columnist John Waters. “When they’ve taken away the fathers, they’ll take away the mothers.”
“I rather naively thought that this issue would bring feminists to my aid. After all, what I was asking was that this somewhat overlooked dimension of their revolution be attended to,” writes columnist John Waters. “But what I found was that, far from getting support from feminists, the only significant resistance was coming from feminists and the political leaders who live in fear of them.”
Yes correct, the past four or five decades have been full-on collective (and self-serving) female hysteria . . . that men largely rolled along with, mostly due to cowardice and failure before group pressure.
But it must be remembered that male acolytes and go-alongers of the Feminist Regime were highly incentivized to accept every feminist evil and action, decade after decade . . . from the top government/corporate/military officials right down to daughter-daddies, who were massively incentivized to embrace the gyno-boot and make feral princesses out of their daughters. The feminist regime could not stand without the backing of these 'men', and our 'elite' enemies made sure they were motivated, propagandized, and incentivized to the max.
It is a blockbuster of an article by John Waters. Please accept my assurance that our enemies already hate hate hates it! :O)
You are both courageous men and outstanding talents. I have been backing you since you started out Stephen, and will continue to do so. I have little money but have other attributes, and I have used them as you and John do and I will continue as long as Father permits. Cheers! Michael
Comparing 'no fault' divorce to 'segregation' as the same kind of threat (while citing Numinous Negroes) is just can't. The truth is that *desegregation* is more like 'no fault' divorce in its destructiveness and totalitarianism.
In the end, BoomerPol cannot help but fail to grasp the scope of social problems because BoomerPol can never get over its fascination and supplication to The Numinous Negro.

Found you thru Waters. John is a wonderful writer and thinker
Agreed. Please see my reply to Stephen Hosking, above.

Yes Stephen, I interact with John Waters (I call him Sir John) and he is a keeper.
I'd love to buy your latest book, but shipping a print copy isn't feasible in my location. Is there a epub version available?
Yes, it is available in a Kindle edition on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Who-Lost-America-United-Communist-ebook/dp/B0D7SXKYS8/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
