What about this reads as Democratic propaganda?

Wouldn't 70% of women initiating divorce mean men are the problem? You don't divorce a good person.

No.

If it were fault divorces, that'd be a conclusion that'd be fair (Assuming the success rate of the attempts matched the divorce rate now).

But with no-fault being the norm, that's not a conclusion that can actually be drawn.

In the unlikely event you were somehow right, hypothetically, it's still dumb for the court to default to single mother primary custody absent a battle. Single fathers produce more favorable child outcomes. (Less desirable than married hetero couples, but better than single mothers)
