LOL. Okay, bud. I can pretty much guarantee you I have much more experience/knowledge in this area than yourself. I'm not going to get into it here, because it's not generally something like to broadcast publically, but you can PM me if you'd like.

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.
Of course it's not equal but, as Rathji said, you can't punish a child for the decisions of the mother. If you want to take a utilitarian angle to it, I'm sure you'd agree that children who grow up in a more financially stable environment tend to create less of a burden on society as a whole.
