Justice for Men & Boys 
Overprotecting anything will lead to more fraud whether it’s people or property.
If your insurance company was barred from asking questions why your house burnt down, is it possible more policyholders would commit arson when there’s a zero chance of any consequences other than a big fat cheque in the end?

In a sense the previous law encouraging shared care makes feminist sense. Given that they believe children are a burden and the idea that women have some special relationship with their children is a patriarchal false consciousness to deflect women from the workforce and “power”. So enshrining an equal “burden” to father and mother fits the theory. Yet again in fact feminists are on the side of “reactionaries” because in fact it turns out having the very same special role of mother, that is so inconvenient to being an employee and “power” , is like a magic wand when it comes to gaining privileges in a host of circumstances. Most obviously in the split of resources on divorce, but also in terms of welfare and health benefits and so on. Because in complete contradiction of feminist theory “the patriarchy” (aka. traditional society) has always given “sex based rights” to women because of their role as prospective and actual mothers. Indeed this set of “benign sexism” is simultaneously cited as the reason women are “duped” into career breaks or caring for children while being advanced as a reason to ensure fathers do not have any “sex based rights ” at all with regard to their offspring nor the role of father nor indeed to their own property and earnings. Hypocrisy of feminism, rarely challenged, because in a catch 22 loop, to upset possible and actual mothers is in fact to be seen in opposition to the most revered of social roles.
