Working moms are losing custody battles when dad is unemployed and spending more time at home. This is an outrage. http://bit.ly/2suDpk 11/20/2009 |

Working Mother Fans Sexist Hysteria Over Child Custody
Daddy Types —
Wow. I am just blown away by the incredibly sexist premise and alarming tone of Sally Abrahms' article in Working Mother about supposed changes in divorce and family law.

No, he didn't get six pages, as the links at the bottom of his piece would lead you to believe. Those kick you right back into Sally Abrahms' original man-hating bordering on yellow journalism diatribe story.) Bottom line: the piece is ridiculous. How ridiculous? As ...
