Maybe when we start to see more men step up to the plate, things will change, but at this point I'm not seeing it. Equality ain't always 50/50.

Other than in cases of blatant abuse (and then not always,) how frequently do courts award custody to fathers and stick the mother with 18 years of child support? How many fathers out there only see their kids every other weekend because our society has decided that women are always more fit than men to be parents?
