Courts create a false equivalency between protective mothers and abusive fathers. Certainly there are exceptions, and it is possible you found one or two in your story, but overwhelmingly DV is a gendered crime. There is a long history of society allowing husbands to control, discipline and assault their wives. There is no equivalent tolerance of wives abusing husbands.

Wives controlling their husbands is indeed not tolerated. It is accepted. This whole article seems to revolve around how good women are in raising children and how it is their innate impulse to protect children contrary to men, for which I have seen no prove. Meanwhile it makes outlandish claims that are are known to be false. DV is not an overwhelmingly gendered crime, it is an assumed to be overwhelmingly gendered crime.

I found this, but I don't know to what extent is this true.

I'm more interested in these claims.

In context that statistic is simply not true. The 80% statistic represents cases when a mother and father agree to the arrangement. But in contested custody cases where there is abuse, fathers get custody 70% of the time. If there is sexual abuse, fathers get custody over 85% of the time.

Forty states and many judicial districts have created court-sponsored gender bias committees that found widespread bias against women litigants. Common examples are holding women to higher standards of proof, giving women less credibility and blaming women for the actions of their abusers. The flawed practices strongly favor abusive fathers and hurt protective mothers and their children. Indeed, abusive fathers tend to be more successful than safe fathers.

There is no source for either of these.

OP can you not write something saying what this is about? I don’t even know if I want to read he article or not.
