<p>The original report, published on July 26, claimed that the California family court system was "pathologizing, punishing and discriminating against women." Child custody practices were particularly excoriated.</p>
<p>To reach this conclusion, the report had to ignore data demonstrating that "in the 1970's and 80's ... women had sole custody of the children approximately 85 percent of the time ... More recent data sets indicate that father custody figures may be closer to 15 percent." Instead, the report relied on a miniscule, biased sampling, hyperbolic language and such shoddy methodology that no quantitative or qualitative breakdown of statistics was rendered in the 132-page document.</p>
