Are Women in average better Guardians than men?

Because court systems always favor women in matters including children. Why is this? Is it because they are better guardians than men? If so, what makes their approach on parenting so damn special anyway?

RE: Are Women in average better Guardians than men?
I's just another weird bias humans have. Women are only good for raising kids and maybe teaching them. Med have better things to do with their time than be burdened down with filthy little brats. Pfft.

I think this trend is starting to reverse though. More men are getting custody now than in the past. One of the only friends I have who got divorced, it is the father who has custody (while the mom doesn't even seem to care to visit them....it's baffling to me).

Honestly though, it would be better for kids if their parents could work things out so that both parents are involved though. One parent families, mom or dad, are hard on everyone.

Incest.  Pedophilia.    

http://www.theatlantic.com/national/arch...em/272459/


"One in three-to-four girls, and one in five-to-seven boys are sexually abused before they turn 18, an overwhelming incidence of which happens within the family. These statistics are well known among industry professionals, who are often quick to add, "and this is a notoriously underreported crime."

The perpetrator is almost always a heterosexual male family member.  Female abusers are extremely rare.   A step-father is twice the risk, because these are not his biological children.  Some of the problem stems from old religious and patriarchal mindsets: the male is the head of the house, and owns everyone and everything in the house.  He can do with them whatever he wants.

Now, I know a dozen guys who are single male parents, and they are wonderful.  So I'm not saying that men are automatically rapist.  I'm just saying that the courts know the women probably aren't.   The women can be abusive or neglectful, but usually do not sexually assault their children.  And 25-33% of the population is a very significant number.

"Ninety-five percent of teen prostitutes and at least one-third of female prisoners were abused as kids.  Incest is the single biggest commonality between drug and alcohol addiction, mental illness, teenage and adult prostitution, criminal activity, and eating disorders."

So yeah, there might be a reason why women usually get custody.  What kind of tests can they give to a male parent to prove that he will not abuse?  What kind of educational and societal change is needed to remove this horrible, pervasive crime from our world?

That's right, because women don't abuse children. Rolleyes
