"50/50 parent legislation would force just that'

Only because we have systematically skewed from that for 60 years of family law and have a massive backlog of upset, angry men that would flood the gates initially looking to get back to parity. But going forward, you seriously think two people that shared parenting while in the home categorically cannot share parenting as a divorced couple, especially when that's the established standard?  There's no argument you can make for the status quo to be better than a presumption of equality in parenting.

"As for family violence, the vast majority of "perps" are male."

The GSS has measured equal numbers of men and women who say they are VICTIMS of family violence in Canada as far back as 1999, and near parity back into the 1980s when the GSS first started.  In the US, Dr. Murray Straus measured near parity as far back as 1977.  ACWS serves VICTIMS, not perps, and consciously excludes male victims in sexist fashion.
