The court, however, often assumes that having only a mother (or mostly mother) is in the best interests of the child, even when there is contrary evidence otherwise. Furthermore, there is much research showing that letting a father be involved is better for the children. Now, to clear up something, I will just also point out that two-parent families (male-female, male-male, female-female) are better and function better than one-parent families, so when I use fathers specifically, it is because many single-mothers, a vast majority, are straight.
Also, there is bias against men. A reanalysis of a study found that when mother request sole custody, they get it 65% more often than fathers who request sole custody.
Another thing - I heard about a situation in which a father had to settle it out of court because he had spent so much money trying to fight for his kids, that he couldn’t really spend more. That’s why he settled it out of court. This may be what’s happening in the vast majority of cases in which it is settled out of court.
That video was horrible to watch. Just because someone claimed that they were se.xually assaulted doesn’t mean you arrest them. I expect men to be given a fair trial when they’ve been accused (or accuse), so I expect women to be given a fair trials when they’ve accused (or been accused). A society cannot be equal if people are being arrested without evidence when they are accused or accuse.
