- One key (and to me, obvious) difference is that women have far greater
- say about their level of financial contribution. A woman need not pay
- much of anything if she is so inclined. But the man is likely to be
- forced into 18 years of payments. While it is true that women also
- contribute financially, this contribution is usually _voluntary_.
-
- A more equitable situation would have custody of the child
- automatically go to the state, requiring _both_ parents to sue for
- custody, and with judgements equitably distributed between men and
- women.
