For example, there is the matter of abortion. A woman does not need to get consent of a fetus' father to abort, but that also negates the father's rights. Of course, that can't be settled until and unless an artificial womb or fetal transplants can be perfected since it's a woman's body that is on the line. But that issue is bound to be brought up time and again.
Then there's a matter of rape. I personally believe that a rapist should lose any and all parental rights when a child is conceived in rape. No visitation, no custody, and child support should be collected through legal restitution. The problem is that I feel that should be the case regardless of gender. If a woman rapes a man (statutory or otherwise), conceives a child, and carries it to term, the man should not be responsible for that child's upbringing or expenses. Unless he is given custody after it is taken from the mother.
The problem with misandrists is that they do not want equality under the law. They want preferential treatment. I'm sorry, but I draw the line after equality.
