(1) I didn't criticize the perspective, I merely said it sounds like coming from a man... No judgement there.

(2) So much wrong there, no idea where to start. "Life mostly of leisure" is not what I and many others think of motherhood. How come stay-at-home mothers get burnout then?

(3) I explained why I think that fathers should'nt have financial incentives to walk away from families they promised to take care of. That works out to a bias in favor of mothers. Deal with it.

(4) Marriage is a contract, designed to make sure children can be raised in relative financial security. Relative at least to the situation of one parent vanishing into thin air because he stands to gain, financially. It's a very narrow interpretation to say that men "foot the bill". They married the woman, they are responsible for their children. Now is it fair for men to get a financial reward from walking away from their promises and obligations? I don't think so.
