Since when have individual rights always been in the best interests of society. Indivdual rights regularly conflict with simple utilatarian calculus. That is one of the reasons they need to be protected.
Generally what you are saying is that it is okay to force men to become finacially responsible for a child but it isnt okay to do the same to women. I would agree that it is probably in the best interest of the children but it certainly isnt equal.
