You asked for some stats rather than hearsay. I found some very quickly. You want some more?

As I have said, I know there are time when thing fall in the favour of both sides. But I would rather take a government funded paper than a paper with no back up from a bunch of disenfranchised men.

But the stats you posted don’t prove that women are discriminated against? You said yourself, chances are more women 'choose' to work part time to raise children. I’d have to remind you, that having kids is another ‘choice’ and that in cases where a couple do not remain together, women are far more likely to receive and 'want' custody of the child in nearly all cases, they will win that custody.
To me, there is no accuse for allowing yourself to become pregnant, then complaining you aren’t able to work full time. Saying that, it is still possible for a woman to work full time with a child but why bother? Benefits make up the differance. My sister is a single mother and works part time and the benefits she recieves add up to what would get for a full time job on minimum wage. This makes it around £140 a week + her job salary. Were you not aware that single mothers get this benefit?
