OK then I guess you'll just have to take it on trust that your views on this aren't new or unique... they fly around the internet on a daily basis. From MRA gurus like Jordan Peterson.

That last sentence is uncalled for. Disgusting. ...because I'd advocate an abused child going to stay with their abuser. I have dealt with quite a few safeguarding concerns, ones that I have raised myself, you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to me and what I'd be up for!

You suggested the child custody issues in the UK are heavily slanted towards women which is demonstrably and patently false. They're slanted towards the person who has been the primary caregiver in that child's life which tends to be the mother. Child access issues are skewed in favour of the father's wishes so heavily that it's bordering on criminality. Children have been abused - and in some thankfully very rare incidents, killed - thanks to court-ordered access for violent fathers. You will find no such stats for mothers. Arguing that the situation is not gendered is at best unscientific and not supported by the data at all... at worst it's a straight up lie based in bias.
