Only if they similarly "stigmatise" mothers who deny access to the mans children. Unless of course there is proven abuse involved. I say "proven" as it's far too easy for a woman to just claim anything she likes and be believed without proof "just to err on the safe side".

I know plenty of guys out here whose wife has moved to another state with the kids and smugly says "well I'm not stopping him seeing them". Not to mention the fact they remarry someone making a lot of money, and yet the man still has to pay money to support her. One workmate at the moment is agonising over his girlfriend, as his ex-wife is taking proceedings to get increased levels of child support out of him, even though she herself works at a coal mine in the area and makes the same huge wage that he does, well over $100,000 a year. He isn't sure whether he can afford to support his partner, and they are putting marriage plans on hold until they work something out. Why keep punishing a guy for years? Not to mention that it was his wife that left him...for another woman as a matter of fact :shock: ...so the rest of us kind of fail to see why he should continue to support her at all apart from maybe some money for the kids.

From what I see in the news, it would appear that the system around the world is pretty biased against fathers, as if they are nothing but a genetic material donor and should have no rights to any further say in their kids lives.
