I'm not sure that more women than men want custody, simply that they get it. If you've got numbers, I'm amenable to correction.
Are you saying your family courts are sexist?
I don't know. Are they actually sexist or do they just realize that women generally tend to be better caregivers to children?
Same with the wage gap. Are companies actually sexist, or do men just generally tend to be more committed and focused on career, thus earning them better pay?
Maybe, maybe not.
I'm not one who is quick to call sexism or any other type of ism.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
