Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Born December 3, l930 in Rosemount, Minnesota, Richard Doyle attended St. John’s Prep. School, White Bear Lake High School, and St. Thomas College, all in Minnesota. Heavily into athletics as a youth, Doyle declined a tryout with the Chicago Blackhawks (in a fruitless effort to salvage his first marriage) while playing for the Air Force against Canadian all-stars and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the Edmonton Gardens in 1955, and coached two U.S. teams at the 1986 World Tug of War Tournament in The Netherlands. Doyle served three years with the Marine Corps Reserve, including a stint at officer training school in Quantico, Virginia, and four years with the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. He was an air traffic controller for over l7 years, both civilian and military. Divorced in l957, he resigned his civilian controller career (for reasons mentioned below) and working for several years as commercial pilot and flight instructor. Shocked by the anti-male prejudice pervasive throughout the divorce court system. Doyle formed the Men’s Rights Association (now Men’s Defense Association) in l972 and was a founding member of Men’s Equality Now (M.E.N.) International, an international coalition of similar organizations, in l977. Of over 40 years in the men’s rights trenches, he edited and published The Liberator, foremost newspaper in the men’s movement for over 30 years. The Minnesota Bar Association sued him for “practicing law without a license.” He beat them in a precedent-setting lawsuit, making them pay costs. The National Coalition of Free Men NCFM awarded Doyle a plaque bearing this inscription: “With sincere gratitude for a lifetime of selfless service to the men’s and fathers’ rights movement…” “To Dick Doyle, who for years has been the backbone—& brain & muscle—of the Men’s Rights Movement… Dan Amneus” (autograph in his book, Back to Patriarchy). “Keep up the good fight,” Tom Martin, Philosophy Department, University of Nebraska at Kearney. New York writer Max Freedman dubbed him a “mensch,” a high honor among those of Jewish persuasion. Doyle is an Honorary Life Member in American Legion Post 225, Forest Lake, Minnesota.
