In one word "no". Why should they? Many will argue my viewpoint is blunt and direct and may even believe I have no perception of how a father may feel being denied equal custody to his children after a divorce. However, I have been married for 32 years and raised 5 children with my youngest now only 8 years old and with the same partner, an astounding revelation to some over the years especially when my last child was born when I was 40 years old. In saying this I am sure I would have removed any doubt where my perception, values and compassion may be brought into question of having little idea how fathers may feel about this tender and sensitive issue.

Our society, even at a global level, particularly in Western nations is still primarily based upon the Christian values of the Bible for the most part and of course the world has changed immensely at every level, with the exception of one; the Spiritual and physical developmental processes of conception, child-birth and child-raring children. No matter how far into time and technology we may advance some things never change, the bond of a child to it's Mother, the human incubator, a woman, that will process, develop, nurture, feed and submit subliminal-type messages into the unborn fetus brain at every level along with the DNA blue-print of herself and the father which establish certain traits of relationship to both parents during the course of it's 10 month Journey into life conceived of a combination of Spiritual and physical love between a man and a woman, (sadly however a dying human trait in our modern world, but that is really beside the point).

Since the dawn of time, a Mother's role is to care for the home and family as an entire unit, including for much of that time to be the "peace-maker", something men normally are not real good at, mostly because men think more-so single-vision as opposed to their female counter-parts, who "think" and "see" at a deeper level a process commonly called "female intuition" or "multi-vision" drawn of the sub-conscious mind as women so easily do, a trait in-built into the female genetic coding system. Of course a man may adapt to the process through training, but by nature, the genetic coding of males differs greatly to that of women, especially in the area of the "bonding" process to a child and can never therefore I believe satisfy the criteria for rearing a child as well as the Mother and/or a female Guardian or Carer.
