I like that you post a lot, but I feel like there are some stinkers in there that don't pass the smell test. There's a plenty of single parents that actively keep past partners from their children. Often enough this is against their child's and former partners wishes. Some even want to hurt their exes by removing their child.
That being said the stereotype does certainly exist, but reality to me is more complex with less gender related lines. And pushing conservative gender roles is a yikes.
It's also sadly the case that many "absentee" fathers are in jail for victimless crimes and/or serving disproportionately long sentences, especially as the targets of racism.
Erin Patria Margaret Pizzey CBE (born 19 February 1939) is a British men's rights activist and novelist known for her advocacy on behalf of both men's and women's rights and for her work against domestic violence. She is recognized for founding the world's first and largest domestic violence shelter in the world, Refuge, then known as Chiswick Women’s Aid, in 1971.
Pizzey says that she has been the subject of death threats and boycotts because her experience and research into the issue led her to conclude that most domestic violence is reciprocal, and that women are as capable of violence as men. These threats eventually led to her exile from the UK. Pizzey has said that the threats were from militant feminists. She has also stated that she is banned from the refuge she started.

Pizzey is sus, cursory review of her own words immediately reveals this.
What I get out of it is she is the first one to fight for domestic shelters for women, she was the first to get one started. I am very sus of many aspects of the men’s rights movement after diving deep… there’s a lot of hate and discontent… but she was also the first to try and start a shelter for men… and one of the first to notice that often times abusive relationships are reciprocal… which doesn’t excuse anyone, but does seem to point to something…
