Wow - too much misinformation

Feminist groups have fought against presumptive, rebuttable joint custody laws in states all over the country for the past 5 years at least. If you are not aware of that, you have been deliberately misled.

No fault divorce was the product of avid lobbying by the National Association of Women Lawyers. See here:

http://www.abanet.org/nawl/about/history.html

That was after the NAWL created the Family Law section of the ABA.

Ironically, groups like the American Coalition for Fathers and Children (ACFC - http://www.acfc.org/site/PageServer) are about 40% women. Their president is a woman.

The laws that feminists fought hard to put in place deprive children of working mothers as well as of working fathers, in many instances. And many women have brothers, sons, etc. who are beaten down by the irrational Family Court system and want to do something about it.

Good for them - and kudos to the brave women such as some of the posters who don't knuckle under to politically correct ignorance when it comes to the reality of children and fathers.

Dear Catherine

You're right. THANK YOU FOR BLAMING MEN.

Please do so again in the future - they are the root of all evil in the world.

And women are full of peaceful rainbows.

Oh, and Catherine

You're also right about women being weak and infantile. They have no agency, they are like small, brain-damaged children thrust into a lion's den.

They have no free will, they do not make choices: circumstances are imposed upon them by men.

In fact, you yourself may be a victim of The Patriarchy. You're somewhat slow, and you have a "job", in a sense, writing for Broadsheet, but this was probably at the behest of your domineering, oppressive boyfriend.

Or perhaps you were forced to work at Salon because your masculinized lesbian lover forced you to.

Either way, you are passively swept through life like a stick in the stream. I pray for your victimhood to end, and the victimhood ending of all passive, weak, oppressed American college-educated women (particularly those in the Bay Area)who remain crushed under the jackboot of male domination.
