Oh yeah, it’s a picnic for the women. sarc They get to care for the children, 24/7 while the men are out sowing their wild oats, not showing up for visits, trying to control the women by withholding what little child support does get awarded. Look buster, do you not realize that when the dad cuts out the women’s lifestyle goes to the dogs? Men can make a lot more money than women.
Oh, so then the men get the bright idea, “I’ll just take the children from her, then I won’t have to pay child support.” And the children then have no mother.
Men, it is not about YOU. It is about your children.
Yes they can. And until the last few decades women killed the golden goose at their peril. Now they just dump the poor guy and abscond with all the eggs. Their lives are usually worse, but they don't think about that when they decide it would be easier to live alone than have the stress of living with someone that doesn't acquiesce to their every wish.

You paint a broad picture with just one stroke.
The women don’t always get custody. As a matter of fact myself and two other friends have custody. We don’t get child support. I speak fro myself when I say I am thinking about my son when I choose not to fight it out in court with his mother. How is placing her behind bars helpful to his upbringing?
“Oh, so then the men get the bright idea, “I’ll just take the children from her, then I won’t have to pay child support.” And the children then have no mother.”
If the wife cant independently support the children, she shouldn’t have them in the first place. The spouse who can best support them should be the one that has custody.
You appear to be generalizing either first-hand experience or that of someone close in this area.
From my observations, it's the women who dump the guy in order to "sow their wild oats". I've had several friends get dumped by their wives for this purpose.
One took a job at an upscale tennis place, got a wealthier guy who was a customer there interested, and dumped my friend, taking the kids and saddling him with child support. Another was fine with her husband as long as he was a well-off business owner, then divorced him when the business went bust. Another ran off to Louisiana with a musician.
I've seen a LOT of women only stay with their husbands only until they decided that his future potential doesn't seem that hot, and then decide to trade him in so they can try their luck with a wealthier or more exciting guy while they still have their looks. This stage tends to peak when she's in her 30s. Then there's the stage where she decides that the marriage assets have grown respectable and decides to cash in. Among the people I know, the ones where the wife leaves to look for a "bigger, better deal" outnumbers the ones where the husband wanders of by about 8 to 1.
