Showing Original Post only (View all)Do you support the Father's Rights Movement? [View all]
That is, the movement to give shared and more parental rights to Fathers during a divorce...
As it is now, it is extremely sexist - if both parents sue for custody, often times the woman gets sole custody. Automatically assuming a woman is a better parent is sexist. I've known many women who make horrible mothers, and many women who make great mothers. The same goes for men.

I support equal rights for both parents. I'm suspicious of "father's rights" movement, however.
