should there be a bigger penalty for the men that leave women with children that have to depend on taxpayers?

Like what?

How about you ignore gender, if we want society to be fair it should matter about each person, regardless of sex.

There are times where women leave men with the children too.

Though there is such a thing as child support, and the parent with the child needs to collect government assistance (..."depend on taxpayers"...) the goverment makes the other parent pay towards that before the parent with the child can get assistance. So I wouldn't worry so much.

It's none of the media's business. It take two to make a baby, and it takes two to make a relationship work. You cannot simply blame the father, when in half the cases it is the woman who decides she wants to break up.

How about women with kids from many fathers? They are equally to blame.

The man is responsible for paying for the child, and the government already spends billions enforcing that. There is no other 'penalty' available, necessary, or appropriate.

I suppose as long as the women who leave men with children have to do the same.

It's called alimoney and you're already sucking everything you can out of those poor man you vampire. Look at what you did to Alan Harper. You crushed his wallet, his manhood, his life and now you want more?

They already do. It's called child support, and you go to jail for failing to pay it.
