There's still something unique in how society deals with children that is fundamentally misandrist. At every level of our society, we assume mothers are the primary caretaker and primary authority with children and men are explicitly and intentionally excluded and distrusted. It's unfair to women as well, because it shoehorns them into a role they may not be comfortable with.
