I think you are missing the point. If the only change we make in the system is to allow men to reject financial responsibility, then someone WILL be paying for the child for 18 years - you and me. It would be naive to think that anything other than this will happen.
Again, a man is 100% in control of his destiny as to whether he will be financially responsible for a child - he can wear condoms or chose abstinence. If he doesn't trust condoms or REALLY doesn't want a child, he should choose abstinence.
Consenting to engage in sexual intercourse implies consent for ALL consequences of that act - including the creation of a child and the financial responsibility of the child. You might not LIKE those choices, but there are choices.
