[America's Resolve]

Mother worked two jobs to keep body and soul together for her children as they crashed from a 180K income to less than 15 over the course of a year.

It sounds to me like he should have been given custody since he was in a better position to support the children than she was.

Thats the problem that many/most men see in the discrimination being practiced by the courts nowadays.

Women, by virtue of their genitalia are superb parents and men are reduced to a pecker and a paycheck. Women are parents and men are just spare parts.

Women are perceived as these perfect beings who by virute of their breasts are perfect, godlike parents and men are all dunces who couldn't raise a child to save their lives.

It's state-supported and sponsored sexual discrimination. Period!

Just remember: Susan Smith was a mother and a less than perfect parent

maybe if the courts began to look out for the interests of the child instead of the mother and placed the child with the parent that could best support it, cases like you mentioned wouldn't happen as often as you say they do.

It is not sexual discrimination. The children come from the women's bodies. A woman has more physically and emotionally invested in a child that the husband, in most cases. I have a traditional viewpoint, I realize.

You also have to realize that I was once the center of a fairly high profile custody battle where, my father should have won the custody battle, my mother was emotionally ill. He didn't and I didn't understand until years later why the courts awarded my mother custody. Now as a mother I understand why a competent mother has first custody rights.
