Education is still nowhere near equitable. Males and females are still privileged in their traditionally accepted subjects.

Nowhere near equitable for men, women dominate numbers in college, and most subjects, the feminist lobby is working on the few remaining subjects that men do better in.

Sexism is the cause behind custody and visitation rulings. Women are more "nurturing"--their place is in the home, caring for children and baking brownies. Fighting sexism is fighting for fathers' rights.

You don't know what you're talking about. The presumption of maternal custody is rooted in feminist activism from the 1800s- Caroline Nortons tender years doctrine.

Something isn't so because you say it is. If it's a lobby group or a special interest group, tell me who's in charge so I can sign up!

Take your disrespectful snark back to where you came from.

You tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about, and then call me disrespectful? That's rich. And, I'm just going to say it, you're dead wrong, Sigil1. There is no feminist lobby. Sexism is at heart of many of the issues you're blaming feminism for. When there's a Right wing calling the President a snob because he wants more people to go to college, we clearly live in a society that doesn't value education. College is getting wicked expensive. If we make college accessible and not demonized, and the numbers will go back up.

And, by the way, Caroline Norton was British. To be in a discussion about society in the U.S., you might want to learn some U.S. history. Women couldn't file for divorce or own their own property until the 1960s -- and that was in just a handful of states. Women didn't start getting custody of their children regularly in the U.S. until the 1890s. Across the country, women didn't have full equal rights until 1920.

Current statistics say that the one who files for divorce is the one who wins more of what they ask for in a divorce, including child custody. Also, liberal states grant joint or paternal custody more often than Red states: "Despite the powerful stereotypes working against fathers, they are significantly more successful than is commonly believed. The Massachusetts [gender bias] task force, for example, reported that fathers receive primary or joint custody in more than 70 percent of contested cases."
