'Kramer vs. Kramer'

Women tend to get a raw deal when it comes to custody cases. More often than not during a custody dispute, they win.

Then folks tend to bash the really dumb times when a woman who shouldn't get custody gets custody despite the father being clearly a better parent.

Maybe that's how we're supposed to feel after "Kramer vs. Kramer" but I don't feel that way.

Dustin Hoffman should certainly be considered for custody. But Meryl Streep did take care of the kid for the previous seven years or so only for Hoffman to step up to the plate for those 18 minutes in between her leaving and coming back.

Odd statement: When Streep leaves she tells Hoffman she's leaving the kid behind noting that she didn't know how to deal with him, as if she had no idea how to parent him. After seven years, ain't that odd?
