“Spousal and child support _are_ where divorce courts are influencing equity, by having the parent who's career was not impacted by parental duties provide monetary support to the parent who was.“

This is quite clearly not true because of maternal preference, which is openly acknowledged by the courts.

They are not in fact basing their decision on who’s career was not impacted.

They are making the decision based on the sex of the parents, and simply recapitulating traditional gender role assumptions.

I’m not making a case that it shouldn’t be this way.

My point is that we shouldn’t gaslight ourselves about what is going on.
