As are women, but they have a final opt out. Now I personally don't want to be in this situation, at the moment I don't want children (and possibly never will) and I would likely sign a pre-nup with any girl I was co-habiting/engaging to work out the divorce in advance... however even that signed contract could be overridden.
Kutulu, the main point I am arguing is that women have 1 level of choice more (essentially making sex 100% protected from their point of view as the final choice is always a choice) and that if you say one thing then go and do another then the other parties involved should not be affected by your decision. Now I don't truly believe in equality (men and women are different) however for some reason the rest of the world wants people to be equal, to have identical opportunites, rights and the ability to live freely, to that end should everything not be equal?
Now I know its probably silly but if you read through some of those sites I posted (scary reading), something like 52% of mariages end in divorce, 72% of these started by women, and even if the woman remarries (assuming she has custody) you can still be made to pay child support despite your children no longer needing additional support. The system itself (in Britain at least) also tends to support single mothers more than single fathers with various tax breaks, incentives etc... we should either get equality or call "equality" what it is, a sham (look at the US, there is a section in there allowing the government to apply sexist laws if they basically feel like it).
