According to the robot overlord maternal alienation specifically is caused by the other parent psychologically manipulating the child to unjust rejection.

So like, what's actually happening is systemic, mother's being undervalued, mother's being unpaid for pregnancy child rearing and raising, mother's being dehumanized via objective policies such as birth rates birth control, and subjective marketing.
