I know a lot more couples where the man has left, leaving the woman the raise the child, than the other way around.

"If you create life you must be responsible for it"

Maybe women are being told that, and you just haven't heard it said to you because you're not a woman. Or maybe women don't need to be told.

the man has left, or the man was pushed away. the man has left, or the man is providing financial support, while being deprived of contact with his children.

when 1 in 3 children are raised in a single parent household, compared to the traditional norm of 1 in 20, everybody could use a reminder to act responsible when it comes to the life they create.

Golly assumptions, Batman!
