I know a lot of mothers who relinquished primary custody to the kids' father and found their own relationship with the kids improved. Fathers who are engaged with their offspring do just fine. Others seem to think out of sight, out of mind, out of existence and simply walk away and only sue for custody halfheartedly because they resent paying support to children they no longer own. It's a case by case basis and no bias should exist.
But it does and it's a legitimate issue for MRA groups. Blaming feminism for this is not, nor is the publicity campaign meant to silence women who are rape survivors, and nor is the general tone that women somehow owe them something sexually.
