It's a bit of both really, as above here where men seek custody they're awarded it equally, but there are simply less men seeking custody. In other countries I'm under the impression the disparity is also related to an old judicial presumption that children should go to the mother as they are the better carer - which is a very direct reflection of gender roles being institutionalised by the legal system.
I don't know if this has been said or not but I think it is selfish. Not in the exact context of your quote however. By having a child you are directly responsible for everything they ever experience. You forfeit your individuality and must use your maximum effort towards the child. This is why I have a difficult time believing having children isn't immoral. One thing you may think is "you can't be certain of their circumstances". Well, since we have no experience of the alternative the argument is invalid. It can be selfish to not devote yourself to your kids first.
Study 1: MASS
2100 cases where fathers sought custody (100%)
5 year duration
29% of fathers got primary custody
65% of fathers got joint custody
7% of mothers got primary custody
Study 2: MASS
700 cases. In 57, (8.14%) father sought custody
6 years
67% of fathers got primary custody
23% of mothers got primary custody
Study 3: MASS
500 cases. In 8% of these cases, father sought custody
6 years
41% of fathers got sole custody
38% of fathers got joint custody
15% of mothers got sole custody
Study 4: Los Angeles
63% of fathers who sought sole custody were successful
Study 5: US appellate custody cases
51% of fathers who sought custody were successful (not clear from wording whether this includes just sole or sole/joint custody)

The stat is sound. It comes from every academic books that deals with psychology. The reason it is sexist, is because society does not pay much attention to why men are killing themselves. Issues are not focused on as one is focusing on female issues such as breast cancer.
Never go full..... you know what i mean
Just wow you are one bigot under the sun do you claim you are a moderate feminist?
I feel pure hate for the bias and spitefull nature of this remark.
fearom just stop being the way you are.
To claim that people who choose suicide are pathetic because they are male (or female) is just mindboggling hatefull
emotionless, sexists, ignorant and well pathetic anyway to think its ok to say something like that on an open plattform..
i don't know this makes me sad.

I can be less wordy and conciderate if you'd like.
By having children you are thereafter responsible for everything good and bad that happens in their life. Since we cannot say what not existing is like, we cannot say existing is the better choice. Having children is immoral.
Agreed.
Here is a more complete survey:
