335. Another prominent myth is that mothers always get custody of children. Several studies have shown that in contested custody cases, fathers win custody approximately 70% of the time. Other studies show that abusive fathers are the ones most likely to fight for custody. (Exhibit 8) After making allegations of abuse by father, 58% of mothers had no or supervised visitation with their children by the end of the court battle.
How about we make sure the United States puts the proper resources into defeating this action.

One option with the petition.
Article 34. Other Grounds for Inadmissibility
The Commission shall declare any petition or case inadmissible when:
a. it does not state facts that tend to establish a violation of the rights referred to in Article 27 of these Rules of Procedure;
b. the statements of the petitioner or of the State indicate that it is manifestly groundless or out of order; or,
c. supervening information or evidence presented to the Commission reveals that a matter is inadmissible or out of order.
I’d like to know where they got that statistic.
Its pure BS.
The complaint charges that U.S. courts are failing to protect the life. . . of. . . children
Since when did that matter to NOW??
Gee they didnt mention the slut that got 3 men on the LaCrosse team arrested for a rape they didnt commit did they? When a man finds his wife in bed with another man 9 times out of 10 she will end up with the kids ,alimony and child support.
She will move in with the other man, they will have two paychecks to his one and he is stuck with all the bills she made before leaving, plus child support.If he is lucky he will get to see his kids two weekends out of the month.
Where did these task forces make their studies? They are pure BS.
Here is a link to an excellent rebutal of the Mass Gender Bias Study that claimed 70% of men got custody. They achieved this miracle by winnowing the cases down to less than 4% of the total case load.

By cherry picking the data and having a biased committee to generate the report. Unfortunately, the reports appear to be valid because of the bodies issuing the report.

Excellent point.
We need an industrious attorney out there (I’m too lazy) to prepare and file a similar suit in this same court, along the very lines you mentioned.
A suit against the United States for failing to protect the civil rights of those 1.5 million unborn murdered each year.
Yeah! Let’s get some papers files QUICK!

I believe they are counting "unsupervised, overnight visitation every-other Christmas" as custody.
Based on my statistical analysis, approximately 90% of the meaningless numbers thrown around in that affidavit sound suspiciously like BS, 80% of the time. Approximately 95% of the persons reading those numbers likely questioned which body cavity those numbers were pulled out of. Of those 95%, 100 % chose the correct location.
I can only hope that reality breaks down the door to that particular meeting room.
I note that they say “Custody” and not “sole custody”
They are VERY precise with their wording. It is the only way to come up with the bogus statistics.
These are the same people that demand ‘equal pay’ and ‘equal work’.
and title 9 in sports.
‘Equality’ in every field but this one.
Our response to the lies that NOW continues to spread:

I’ve been a custody lawyer for 30 years so flame away. But it’s made me a right wing conservative (among other things like the prolife movement). False accusations of abuse and “victim support advocates” have poisoned the system for the people, male, female, adult and children who really are physically abused. But I pretty much avoid representing someone who was abused over a period of time. They (male or female) are often very damaged and were damaged prior to the relationship which is ending. They may need legal representation but more often they need serious and honest counseling. Victimhood is a disease IMHO and some folks can’t get up in the morning without a crisis and can’t fall asleep at night without a comforting sense of victimhood. I don’t want to wade around in that life thank you very much.
Well, then you are well positioned to reform the system.
I find it very telling that they chose to sue in an international court instead of in a U.S. court for this line of B.S.
The biggest concern I have is that there may not be a defense mounted in the international court with the attendant damages to our legal system.
