This MGTOW campaign seems...(warning: not PC) kind of gay! Really get to know your partners...don't rush into marriage.

I think Annee is referring to this:
About 60% of single mothers in the US live in poverty. Only 29% of single mothers ever received child support, and the average per month received by these mothers was $432.
Single parents worldwide: Statistics and trends
Then those fathers either fled from the U.S. or are in jail.

I didn't expect you to post personal information. I asked what sorts of evidence you had to back up your claim. You gave examples of things you did, but you never proved that those things actually made you a good father. Most of them sounded pretty average to me, and good implies above average.
Maybe you're right that your wife was a bad mother. Maybe you were bad and she was worse? That would still fit the narrative that you were a better parent than her.
I'm far from assuming the worst too, I just think it's a typical case where people over inflate their own contribution and minimize others, which is very common. As someone who habitually does the exact opposite, to the point that I'm convinced I'm horrible at everything I do, and that others cover for me, I like to challenge the established notion because it's so different to how I percieve the world.

That's an assumption. What percent of single parents never file for child support in the first place?
ETA: Here's a link that claims that out of the 13.4 million single parents in the US in 2016, only 48.7% had any form of legal or informal child support agreement in place. (HERE)

True robots are also in the future. And people have to remember they won't always be steel and rubber, etc. 3d bioprinting will eventually allow for fully biological bodies, the brain can be replaced by a blood powered low power computer or remote control wifi chip.

Tell ya what -- when Paternity DNA testing becomes mandatory and child support becomes mandatory (without excuses) -- let me know.
Men may not always get a fair deal in court (although that is changing) -- but, it doesn't even come close to "sperm donors" skipping out.

So legally punish most single fathers for the mistakes of some?
That makes about as much sense as legally awarding custody to fathers +90% of the time because some post-postpartum mothers kill their own children.
According to the columnist Martin Daubney, members of the MGTOW community believe that legal and romantic entanglements with women fail a cost–benefit analysis and risk–benefit analysis.
