seriously, read/skim them.

you'd be way, way surpised at how many women deceitfully pull the abuse and child molestation card against dads in custody battles. it's a mud-slinging contest for the sick entertainment of the system. and it's part of the corporate/population-increase/matriarchal conspiracy.

in contested custody cases, 80% of the time, women get primary custody, 5% men, and 15% is split, w/ a real 50-50 split happening less than 2% of the time, and the other split structures heavily favoring time w/ mom.

add that to the divorce rate (50-90%, depending on age and whether you got kids or not; w/kids is higher, younger is higher), and add in unmarried kid-makers and the skyrocketing separation stats for them, and that's why single mother households are the most common household structure in the usa.

result: "mom gets the kids, dad pays"
response from society: zilch, a non-issue, until it happens to you - and it likely will (again, check the stats, brother)
