Most of the time, women get custody because the couple agrees to it. This isn't surprising when national time-study data shows clearly that most women are doing most of the child care. So long as that is true, women will get custody more often than men and it won't mean that there is gender discrimination. In fact, if women were doing more of the child care and custody was equal, it would mean women were being discriminated against.

What about when the couple disagrees about who should get custody? The data suggests that men are more likely to win. There may be questions about these studies like is joint custody a win, but the research certainly doesn't point to women being more likely to win!

The original post suggesting that fathers in general lose custody because they're men and blaming feminism was irresponsible journalism.
