Some women are not raised to be nuturing and caring, but most are, and provided they meet all possible criteria (like not being a druggie or workaholic who's never home), that should get them preference for custody of younger children. Until this societal issue is addressed, we need to think of the needs of the child before making social or political statements.

So you're saying that the current trend of more women in the sciences (in my department, there are four men and four women on the regular faculty, while 50 years ago it would have been all men) should be reversed because of cultural bias?
Maybe we should work on changing the culture on its own, and in the meanwhile, keep the ministrations of the law unbiased?
