If you want to continue saying, but all are equal, then you may but I want to find the best solution for everyone involved.
The best solution for the child is all that matters and we have zero evidence to prove that a woman is better fitted than a man. We have general statements and assumptions that have been thrown out is all. A woman should not have 'more rights' to a child than a man simply because she is a woman. The better parent should have the rights to the child and if both parents are equally capable, then custody should be joint and equal. I've yet to see a compelling argument against this analysis.
