Are these guys superheroes, or just a bunch of deadbeat dads?

Answer 1

They are, as far as I am aware, campaigning for fathers access, rather than just being 'deadbeat dads'.

I am pro fathers rights. But I think they could probably have a greater effect on the law by launching cases. Their form of protest seems a bit lacking.

Answer 2

i think yes they are superheros Even they don't have supernatural powers but walking in the street in public wearing these cloths , it needs a great strength and boldness.

Answer 3

lol go f4j!

Answer 4

Those men are superheroes IMO.  They're fighting for father rights. They have my full support.  I wish I could be right there to protest along side with them.

Answer 5

They sound like a comedy act.

I see their point though. My brother is in this situation with his own kids. I had to talk him out of the Batman costume though....he doesn't have the physique for it.

Also - Deadbeat dads never want to pay for their children, but these guys just want to support their kids without having two thirds of their income forcibly stolen.

Answer 6

Over all, men are not being treated fairly by the courts, so, these protestors are Super Heros. I hope they can make a difference.

Best wishes. :o)

Answer 7

Sheepydaisy- You make a good point, but seeing how the courts don't exactly treat fathers on equal footing with mothers these days, I don't think it would work very well.

I think they're making a very good point in a good way, so long as they're not vandalizing anything or attacking people.  I like how one guy wants to keep it from getting out of hand, at least at this point.  From what I've seen-which I'll admit isn't a lot- I don't have any problems with it.
