Child Custody – Who gets the kids?

5:08 pm in Male Perspective by Reason and Logic

According to Marc E. Angelucci, Esq., president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Coalition of Free Men, a non-profit group that examines sex discrimination affecting men and boys, laws based on gender are often disproportionately levied against men.

‘Men are systematically and institutionally discriminated against in fathers’ custody rights, domestic violence policies, military conscription, criminal sentencing, forced labor laws, reproductive and parenting rights, dating expectations and more,’ Angelucci said.

However, others believe that these laws are in place to balance out persisting gender inequality.

Hohyon Kim, a history major at UC Irvine, reacted to these findings, saying, ‘Overall, I’d say that women are still being discriminated against more overall than men. I think such laws exist to balance out [gender inequality].’

So to balance out gender inequality, we play with a child’s life? “Sorry Junior, we know you said you wanted to stay with Dad, but men get paid more on average than women for doing the same job, so we have to give you to Mom to balance it out.”

Do you feel the courts are fair in custody cases, or that women always go into it with an advantage?
