I didn't say that children would be better off every time with their dad, just that, in general--i.e., most--are. One reason I've heard as to why is that dads are generally better off financially. I would assume that a big reason is that the man is often more psychologically stable. Maybe the reason that men are allegedly more psychologically stable is because they are paid more. Financial instability is very stressful. Plus, more men than women are pedophiles and serial killers. Don't forget that. :-)
Me, I think kids need to grow up with a mom AND a dad. Married, stable couples are the ideal...and if the marriage doesn't work out, joint custody should be the default. That's just my opinion, though.

"Only if it's all she does." Why would that be wrong even if that's "all she does"?

You feminists expect men to pay for your abortions or child support but you don't want them to have any say so in the life of the child. That's selfishness. I call it authority without responsibility--a perfect recipe for disaster.

Maybe the reason that men are allegedly more psychologically stable is because they are paid more. Financial instability is very stressful. Plus, more men than women are pedophiles and serial killers. Don't forget that. :-) I was looking for the original study, because I recall seeing it as well, but couldn't find it. However, I also recall the criticism of that study. Given the current biases in our Family Law system, a father needs to fight, and hard, to gain custody of the children. Those who are willing to put in that much of a fight are generally likely to be committed parents. So the problem came from the self-selection - custodial fathers are most likely highly committed parents, while custodial mothers may or may not be.
However, your second comment, about men being more likely to be pedophiles and serial killers, does deserve some comment. Basically, that women are the more likely to abuse or kill their own children. Obviously, in either case, the man or woman is both an exception, and very deeply disturbed. However, men are more likely to turn their perversions outward, women are more likely to turn them inward.

Why are children generally better off with their fathers?Fathers: tough love = well disciplined, well behaved. Kids who grow up without a father tend to have sex at an earlier age and get involved with drugs and generally disregard the law.
Mothers: tender love = well groomed, well mannered. Kids who grow up without a mother tend to be more sloppy, unorganized, and lazy.
Which is more important? Though this is obviously a stereotype since all parents have their differences, it is certainly reflective of today's society.

So you're saying our society is filled with well groomed, well mannered individuals who are sex and drug fiends with no regard for the law? You've just described The 'Toon.

Actually when you put it all together like that, it sounds like the Hollywood left. lol

we should get some fathers who have nothing else to lose (like me) and do the same thing IN A PEACEFUL NON-VIOLENT protest. Take over the office, Hang a sign out the window and call the media
