For more than a century, court decisions were guided by the “tender years doctrine,” a vestige, legal scholars say, of the cult of domesticity that put women on a pedestal as instinctive caregivers.

It should also be noted the tender years doctrine was a major feminist victory intended to secure financial support for women post-divorce.

Previously men would be assumed the sole guardians.

This also ran in today's Denver Post. The comments are telling.
