In reply to <a href="https://today.uconn.edu/2011/09/divorce-is-costly-for-women/comment-page-1/#comment-785">andrea</a>. Check Medline on divorce and custody. Four years ago I found over 700 articles. The weight of evidence is overwhelming. One clear factor is the loss of a man's children. You go from a father to a visitor. There is no support for society for meaningful joint custody. The media routinely trash fatherhood as the patriarchy and there are no popular shows or articles about how divorce often breaks men down. Even on fathers day the mainstream media trash fathers. Check the ratio of articles on family and divorce written by men compared to those written by women. Go to any family law courtroom and see who is pounding walls and who is smiling. If you can't find evidence then you just aren't looking, just don't give a damn, or are trolling this site looking to pick fights with men.
