The article “The "Y" Factor: Gender Bias, Child Custody And The Great Parenting Myth” written by David Pisarra talks about the wild world of child custody and how it affects the father. Pisarra states that fathers are as qualified and prepared as women to raise their kids. As well when it comes to make legal decisions over them, the father should be equally looked at.

We can’t also take from the equation the fact that women are the ones that carry for 9 months the child, creating a bond with them. As well when the child is born the mother is the one that spend the most time with them, taking care of them, breast feeding them, as well as most
