So, it wasn't that stupid of a decision by the judge (I'll concede it wasn't the best)...taking into account what the girl wanted, which was to live with her father.
I'm just honestly imagining the same cult, only they think men should wear dresses, stay at home, and cook. Or just that men should wear dresses. The boy would be taken away in 0.01 seconds if him and his father showed up in court in a dress. Hell, the cult would probably be investigated for pedophilia (because everyone knows men wearing dresses is gay, and everyone knows those gays are all into children).
There's a core of the judicial system in a lot of countries (and I'm not exempting my own) that holds that it's okay to believe this garbage because a bunch of morons used to believe it and tie it to their religion. Ooh, look at me, I is Christian!
Gallstones, I believe you know how to contact me. The rest of you? I could not possibly even care.
