After a trip to the emergency room, parents are four times more likely to caution a daughter against the same activity again than to caution their son.
The same study shows that parents offer directives (orders) to boys to accomplish tasks, while offering girls detailed explainations of the task.

Colleged aged women prefer men who talk the least, use the least number of words, and use shorter words.
Dr. Tronick notes that canadian mothers curtail the emotional expression of male infants far more so than female infants, and this is achieved through physical withdrawal from the infant. (They set crying baby boys down more often and more quickly than girls, for instance.). This aligns with the more active form in the Indian "Boys must be beaten" study, which found mothers and female teachers believed they should beat male children when they show emotion, because emotion in boys is a sign they will grow up to be violent men. (I.E, if your boy is sad or angry, you need to punish them. This also applies if the boys are laughing or having fun by roughhousing, as usual punishing boys for not being girls, whom are treated as default.). They steadfastly rejected the idea that men should beat boys, or that girls should be beaten.

The problem is, and has always been, gynocentrism and womens distrust and hatred of men. Blaming the damage women do to their infants on patriarchy is a way of them avoiding responsibility and confronting the harm they have done and its impacts on society.
Bordering on gender separatist, but I perhaps think primary custody should be afford on the basis of gender, and don't really believe single mothers are fit to raise male children except in exceptional circumstances.
The reason fatherlessness is a problem is that it's akin to removing the only non-destructive influence on the boys psychology from the household in most cases. Moreover, studies have shown that without a father, girls grow up to become less empathetic and more selfish. (Suggesting that selflessness and empathy arise from male influence.).
Feminism is a series of rationalizations, excuses, and frameworks to avoid confronting reality and present women with an alternative to taking responsibility and bettering themselves. They often choose to believe it because the alternative is confronting their privilege, while feminism offers a convenient set of ideas that benefit them, and so they are more receptive to them. (Much like how historically, people who sailed around the world to sell goods were very enthusiastic about the ideology of free trade when it was articulated as an alternative to mercantilism and believed it far more than people in workshops did.) In much the same way as one could cling to, for instance, an anarcho-capitalist worldview in order to justify and ignore the problems caused by anarcho-capitalism by simply referring back to the moral justifications and excuses for the harm it causes ("I don't want poor people to suffer, they just need to work harder" and so on and so on), feminism is a series of rationalizations, excuses, justifications and so on for women to ignore the harm they have done and continue to do, as well as warrant for further harm. The application of the framework resulting in worse outcomes for males and an escalating level of female privilege is the only measure by which it should be judged, not by its own internal justifications and rationalizations.
Male feminists, whole different topic. (See that mensrights thread where we shake our heads sadly at menslib talking about how feminist spaces mess with male feminists psychology but that's their fault for being too misogynist).
