I believe the man should be taken seriously but that in close run things the woman should be given preference. Historically and as we have evolve as a species it is the woman who does most parenting. This should not be true today but the woman does have natural advantages at parenting and she has to carry the foetus, not the man.

What natural advantage does the woman have? Enlighten me. Just because there is a connection that the mother might feel for the child, this does not make her the better parent. To give preference to the mother is to say that she is important yet we can point to studies that show that the lack of a solid male influence has a significantly higher chance of leading to a lack of respect for authority. Just because our culture has adapted to forcing women into the home to care for the child does not mean that this is the best solution for the child. Today, we are seeing record numbers of stay-at-home dad's. If the woman's role is so vital, why don't we rage against this trend?
Parenting has nothing to do with genetics. It has everything to do with desire, dedication, and love.
