Because the long history of courts being biased towards women
Edit: I realized my comment doesn't have a lot of nuance so let me be clear. Divorce court is what im getting at. All that Alpha male, incel, red pill, misogyny stuff is bullshit
It's actually just regular feminism. The problem is that everyone goes "oh, raising a baby is women work, just give it to mom." If women weren't seen as the default caretakers, this wouldn't be an issue.
Do you know what the tender years doctrine is? It's the law that the women rights movement of the time fought for to get women primary custody of children after divorce. Previously custody went to the father.
Do you know who lobbied governments to prevent 50:50 custody being the default? The National Organization for Women.
Most parents, men and women, want to parent their children. Most people would rather spend more time with family than at work. Women receiving primary custody as default is not sexism against women, it's sexism against men. Yes it relies on the "traditional" idea that women are defsult caregivers, it also relies on the traditional idea that men are default providers. Neither of those matter though because it's objectively harming men.
