Rejected petition give men equal rights to joint custody of their children on family break up
More details
Currently men are discriminated against over custody and access to their children on the break up of their relationships with their childs mother. A man is not considered equally and custody of children is automatically given to the mother. If this was the other way round then you could imagine the feminist medias response.
People complain about absent fathers, but the real truth is they are excluded and driven away from their children from day 1 of the split even if they are the better parent. This is sexist and anti male but mostly disastrous for our children and reflects itself daily in the gangs of males roaming the streets of the UK without a male role model.
The government must make both parents equal and give them joint custody automatically both financial and with regard to domicile
