And I have the DU scars to prove it. A long time ago I posted about this, asking why is it that XX% of time (I don't remember the exact percentage but it was WAY over 50% -- something like 75+%) custody is granted to the mother. I questioned the status quo that the mother is always the better parent. I've seen too many instances where that most definitely is NOT true. I had all the figures, did days worth of research and spent a LOT of time writing about the unfairness dished out to fathers who, too often, end up being nothing more than check writers. Holy shit did I ever step into it. All kinds of extraneous issues came into the discussion. Everything from deadbeat dads (like there are no deadbeat moms), child support, etc. The ISSUE was child custody and the unfairness towards men and favoritism toward women. I think that was the first time I was labeled a misogynist. 
I haven't read any responses on this yet but I'm anxious to see if anything has changed since then (probably 8 years ago or so).
