Why do women believe that have the right to be Maternal Gatekeepers?

Question

Is it the family law of today that makes them believe they have a god given right to have full custody of children and push the father out of the childrens life or to be just a visitor.

Or is it something else

Thanks for your answer. That is one thing I have heard but I am not convinced that it should be. I mean a man goes out to work so the children can be fed, shelter, clothed ect and to me that is a major contribution. Without it you do not have the resources to do physical care in the first place. But just because he does not do the physical care, does not mean he cant. So I am against that thought

No I am not asking about individual circumstances. I am asking for the overall because there is my own experience, I am a fantastic Dad but my ex (she admits to sometimes being this way) will toy with my feelings by blocking access that has been agreed and puts it down to best interest of the kids (like I dont know what is in their best interest) and many women on hear who talk in the Maternal Gatekeeper way. But yes of course their are some instances where it should be natural to be Maternal Gatekeeping but not to be abused as if women are higher than thou

Yes I know how screwed the law is, that is part of the question that is the law to blame for women being maternal gatekeepers and higher than thou when it comes to the kids.

Answer 1

Because it gives them the ultimate WMD weapon of male destruction. In the U.S. an average of 10 fathers a day commit suicide directly related to family courts bias against them. And those are only the ones with a direct link to family courts.
As long as feminism keeps spouting false statistics about DV and scream and belittle anyone who disagrees with their false stats. Women will have the power and will use it to get what they want or to get revenge for some slight they imagined.

Answer 2

MG is a means of retaining a level of dominance over the men involved, while being incredibly difficult to identify - let alone prove.
I can't say much on this answer because I'm currently going through the court system, in fact, I have an appointment at family in court 2hrs from now... so toodles - wish me luck

Answer 3

Each case is separate, but most often the mother is the primary caregiver before the seperation. This makes her the most logical person to be the primary caregiver afterwards. Because of a child's need for stability, this often has the effect of making the father feel like an "outsider" or a "disneyland dad."

However, this is not always the case. I have been divorced for 6 years now and my 9 year old son has always lived with his father. Not because I don't care about him but because of the closeness that they share. Because of the distance, I only get to see my son a few times a year. I'm not saying that I like this arrangement, but I do believe that it is best for my son.

The most important thing is for both parents to look at the best interests of their child. Not just physical needs but emotional ones. And remember, long after the bitter taste of your seperation you will still be parents.

Answer 4

I don't think all women believe that. If the man is a bad father, then she should get custody. She should make sure to be fair. Men get can screwed even with the birth of a child. If the woman wants to keep the child, then he pays child support. If she doesn't want the baby (he does) she can abort it. But both parties need to think about birth control long before this.

Answer 5

Sadly a lot of women use the children to get back at the ex husband.They have so much hate for the man they will falsify information to make him look like the worst father,and sadly many judges fall for it.Men need to fight for their parental rights more in earnest.

Answer 6

Would it not depend upon the individual and the relevant circumstances? Remember, blackmail and extortion are barely considered to be crimes when they are being perpetrated by a Women in a divorce case. Lawyers condone such duplicitous action by their clients when trying to obtain the best settlement.

Answer 7

In Family Law each individual case is judged so as to provide the best possible outcome for the children.
That is the system here in The UK.

Answer 8

Not all women get custody. My ex stole my children. And they gave him custody. And he was a lousy father. Judges are pretty mean to women these days. But most importantly, mean to the children. Most men are insensitive and pass it on to their children. And then men cripe 'cause they don't like the way women act. We're damed if we do, and damed if we don't. Men are never satisfied.

Answer 9

desire for absolute power
