My recollection is that the reason women get the kids in the divorce most of the time is that men don't fight for it most of the time. If that's a factual disagreement I can try to look it up. 

I'm not saying that women are doing a better job at those roles. I'm saying that women view those roles as acceptable while men don't view women's roles as acceptable by and large. This leads me to think that most people view one role as superior to the other. In a free society I would prefer people get to do what they want over being assigned what they're best at. 

Actually "men don't fight most of the time" is because most men can't afford it. In the worst case scenario you end up worse than you would without fighting and on top of that you might end up paying tens of thousands in legal fees. I believe only Denmark have even remotedly fair system when it comes to divorce and kids custody and it has reduced the fights relating to kids and divorce by 80-90%, after it's implementation. This is because you need to settle the kids custody and other stuff before getting the divorce. The current system favours heavily women.

A lot of the complaints you see in public how women do this and that and men don't and don't get respect for it and so on, are stuff men don't have any problems with after they're divorced of have broke up. 

So men'll do all those annoying house chores when they can't get someone else to do it, but if a woman is in the home they'll assume they don't have to? What point do you think this is making?
