Today on reddit, one of the top posts, with over 101,000 upvotes, is a picture of a man who leveraged the legal system to force a mother to allow him to see a young girl, after she managed to hide the child from him for almost 2 years.
In typical reddit fashion, the dudes over there are eating it up, talking about how “biased” the court system is against men and circle jerking about all the horrible women they supposedly know who purposely keep children away from perfectly innocent men, despite the fact that the vast majority of women in the world will go out of their way to include the man who fathered their children in the children’s lives unless he is completely abusive and dysfunctional (and sometimes even then.)
And, surprise! If you scroll far enough down in the thread, you’ll discover that the man is a drug addict and alcoholic who killed his brother in law! No wonder the mother didn’t want him around her child!
Reminder that men seek custody of children only as a way of harming mothers and children and you should never, ever trust a man who tries to remain in a child’s life against the wishes of the mother.
I feel obligated to point out that the system is rigged against men when it comes to child custody and that many mothers out there are completely unfit to have children, but get to keep them anyway because mother instinct reasons I guess? I’ve seen plenty of incompetent mothers retain custody of the child while more competent fathers can’t see his children more than twice a month.
This isn’t me saying ‘not all men’, this is me saying ‘some women’. The idea that a woman is a capable mother just because she birthed the child is an old, incorrect idea that are hurting people, especially children.
This is incorrect. In the US, the vast majority of custody cases are decided between the parents without asking the system to intervene.
When men ask for custody, they are awarded it more often than not.
Abusive men are more likely than not abusive men to request full custody.
If you’re going to try to “correct” me, at least come with some facts instead of some MRA propaganda bullshit.
