There's a lot of nuances with everything. I've watched my 6 figure a year uncle be a piece of shit to his son, while refusing to pay child support to my aunt after she left him (he was verbally abusive to his son, and she caught him in bed several times with other women). He managed to have enough sway to fuck her over time after time in courts. Meanwhile, a friend of mine had a daughter whose mother was schizophrenic and negligent. She would leave the daughter for the entire day with the same diaper on, him coming home to find the baby that way while he was stuck at work. He took her to court to get custody and she lied about some weirdo shit to make him look like a creep, and she won custody. He ended up getting his daughter back but it was technically through his parents. The legal system is so fucked up and there are seemingly biases in every courtroom.

As far as the rest, we'll agree to feel the way that each of us feel about it. Everything is a morbidly obese gray area.

You're describing the unequal dynamics of social relationships between men and women. Laws that treat each individual as equals when they're unequals in the relationship are inherently discriminatory.
