Isn't it incredible? I've heard that Spain's family court system has become truly toxic for fathers. The kiss business is so astounding that I thought of writing about it but gave up because I literally don't know what I could say beyond the obvious.

Sometimes a short post stating the obvious is the best thing to do.

As in KISS, Keep It Simple, Stupid!

This is for the stupid of course, not the people who write simple things for the stupid.

Yes over the past few years Spain has passed draconian laws, starting with Domestic abuse of course. One of the problems in many European countries is the voting systems tend to produce coalition governments dependent on the support of small parties. This leverage often leads to quite niche ideas/policies/laws as the small partners are given their way. It used to be various forms of "greens" but in Spain and one or two others the feminist gender wars have come into vogue.
