This is sexist nonsense.
Most men appearing before a judge for a custody order already have default custody. This happens due to maternal abandonment, which is the most common reason for lone fathers. Maternal abandonment is a waveform against history with high spots in 1911, 1955 and 1999. Even in the low years it is still fairly common.
Even to suggest that men want custody to abuse the ex is to be bigoted. About 10% of our fulltime stay at home parents are men: It is only natural that these men would want custody at divorce. According to the rules we have established, they should get custody.
Many parents co-parent to a very high degree. if both mom and dad have shared child rearing it is obvious that there should be equal chance of either or both of them receiving child custody.
The "men are abusers" argument you have quoted is an argument designed to hurt children and men. It is wrong.
The best place to raise children is in the two-parent healthy family: The next best place is a healthy and well designed lone parent family. The sex of that lone parent is not relevant.
