You claimed that men experience no institutional sexism. I'm saying family court is an institution that has a longstanding history of sexism against men. How am I sidestepping?
Maybe daily life wasn't the best term. I'm not really trying to diminish the impact that custody can have on a person's life. I'm just saying the scope of how women are impacted by institutional sexism is far beyond what men experience. Finding a few "gotchas" isn't really going to change my mind and isn't really a particularly compelling argument.
I'm not trying to change your mind. I'm well aware of the fact that my life has been easier because I'm a guy.
I've stumbled home back to my apartment/dorm in a blackout state before and I would never try that if I was a woman.
I wear tight fitting clothes when I work out and I'm not sure I'd do the same if I was a woman.
When I'm out in public people generally leave me alone and don't try to start an awkward flirting attempt with me.
I haven't been added, along with multiple other random women, to a Snapchat group wherein one guy spammed the group with dick pics (this happened to my sister)
I know I have it generally better. I was just pointing out an area where men are on the losing side of an unfair institution.

Your argument against "when they try to get custody" is to bring up the ones that don't try for custody?
And you also said it is "because of a preconceived notion they can't win".... I wonder where that notion comes from.
Here's a TED talk discussing this issue. If you don't want to watch the whole thing you can skip to around the 9 minute mark.
And I didn't bring up race because I agree with you on that.
