Daddies are damned in the USA, too.

I don't think it's a matter of a conscious thought that "fathers are irrelevant." I think it is more along these lines:

My attorney says I will get 50% custody, unless there is evidence of abuse. She suggests I might go to a shelter to find out if he abused me. (The attorney knows the score, gives strategic advice)
The shelter says he abused me. The shelter says I (drink, have affairs, crash the car, etc) because he abused me. The shelter says he will continue to abuse me - abusers can never be rehabilitated - unless I go nuclear on him. (The shelter dehumanizes the man.)
It is now ok to massacre him, legally. He is a non-person, an abuser, and there is no punishment too severe for him, after what he did to me and my children. (the spouse is now free from any moral bounds on her behavior)

Daddies are still relevant. But if a woman screws up (let's say, decides to take up drinking too much, and then hops into bed with a neighbor), and is faced with divorce, then the only rational response, given the current law in Canada and the US, is to first dehumanize and then destroy the father.

If they are irrelevant, you won't be needing that child support/alimony then, huh?
