I'm pretty much with you Zombie . I'm assuming that nearly all the other people on this thread, and the previous one, are women, with the exception of Disney.
The fact that MN is predominantly female is what makes it such a good place for single female parents to share their experiences, often appalling ones, of non-resident fathers. There are inherent differences between men and women, it's not just all social construct. The empirical evidence for this is well established. This is not to pit us against each other, just to recognise that a single mother will most likely have a different set of problems to a single father. They are also viewed differently by society.
What makes Disney's situation eye opening for me is that, certainly by his work colleagues, he is being treated like a single female parent. By this I mean the remarks about his life being like Jeremy Kyle, the eye roll that he has to juggle his working hours around his girls, the general lack of empathy.
I've yet to see in real life any really good examples of men taking a 50/50 approach to the children when a relationship ends. What I do see is many women, often left much worse off financially, career wise, in terms of their social life etc. Despite this most of these women turn themselves inside out to put their children first, and try and facilitate a relationship with an often difficult and vengeful man.
