Justice for Men & Boys 
Once I’d have answered feminists to this, and that would be true to an extent. But I do suspect the real culprit is our cultural gynocentrism. Years ago in social care I realised that our society is simply not ready to face the truth that mothers can be other than saintly beings. To be honest I suspect the decline in religious belief has strengthened this, because its one of the few “moral certainties” we have left. Hence the scale of child abuse of all sorts committed by mothers remains a secret locked within the social care world, no one in the Welfare/Benefits is prepared to tackle the massive level of fraud by “single” mothers which they are aware of, being a mother gets you “off” from a custodial sentence, in nearly 30 years of it being proscribed in law there has been only two successful prosecutions (a father and mother, and a mother) because in fact vigorous prosection of this practice would “net” a parade of mothers and aunties. Feminists simply ride this existing exaltation of mothers, which is ironic given they then complain about motherhood (or more accurately the work that goes with it).

Just to note the prosecutions I refer to are for FGM. There are in fact two specific statutes passed by Parliament.
