PYNCHME.
There is nothing wrong with women fussing at birthing time, women have been doing that since time immemorial.Its just part of good human nature. For us blokes its a few drinks to "wet the baby's head", or slap on the back and congratulations from your mates, with the odd ribald comment thrown in, again just well intentioned human nature. Both males and females have their own ways of congratulating and celebrating the birth of a child and there's nothing wrong with either.
As regards legal aid, over 70% of separation and divorce actions are started by the woman[ there have been solid statistics done on this, and yes SOMETIMES the woman and child are better off out of it]Therefore they are in most cases at an advantage in getting legal aid first. I could pretty much guarantee that if some statistics were taken of the number of mothers getting legal aid compared to fathers, that mothers would be recieving it in the vast majority of cases. Many a man has come home from work to find the house cleaned out and/or his children gone often only because his wife/partner has found some one else. If a man did this he would be hunted down and charged with kidnapping.
As regards suicide, women have pretty much the same methods of ending it all available to them as men do. Should tell you something. I wonder if you would be so dismissive of suicide statistics if 5 women to every 1 man was dying.
Yes, neglected children certainly are more vulnerable to sexual abuse for the reasons you stated. When i was bringing up my daughter she would often have friends for sleepovers and the FATHER HUNGER of these children was often pitiful to see. It would certainly be very easy for a pedophile to take advantage of the situation which accounts for the fact that it is often mums new BF that is the culprit. The fact is that while most sexual abuse is perpetrated by men, in only a small percentage of cases is the perpetrator the biological father.
