  • Evidence?

    So nice of the XXers to blog about how the family courts are allegedly biased against men. Where is the factual evidence? I don't give a hoot about all these anecdotes. Show me some data that say that, all things being equal, a mother will win custody of the children due to gender bias. It's not possible because each case is unique and must be ...

Not out of some machismo or male domination, rather I consider it part of my responsibility as does my wife.
