When we speak of mom winning custody or of dad getting visitation time, we speak of someone winning, someone losing. When we speak of mom or dad spending 'parent time' with a child, we speak of two parents, not a parent versus a visitor.

There are 25 differences in the way women and men behave in the workplace. These 25 differences lead to men receiving higher pay and women having better lives-or at least more balanced lives.
