I wonder if this is a big part of many women's sex drive "mysteriously" vanishing after the kids are born... knowing that he'll fall in line and take an awful lot of crap because they both know she can probably take his kids away any time she feels like it

I think this is more men's perception than women's thought process. How many times have I heard men on here basically say "I can't leave because she will take the kids." That is F-ed up. As a mother, I would never want to take their father away from them...especialy for spite. And if you are with a woman now that would truly do that to you in a D (if she even could, but that's another issue), than you have bigger problems than a SSM.
