Why are you acting as though the women are the only participants in this system, and the only "faithless" ones?

The men are not getting the stipend. And yeah they suck for not being fathers. Both are faithless.

*bad* parenting fucks up kids, not single parenting, or else you'd be angry at widowers who don't remarry, too.
