Is Fatherhood Irresponsible?

As this article questions, has fatherhood become an irresponsible action?  In other words, has the social/legal game become so stacked against men that a responsible man will choose not to have kids?  Thought provoking, but I think it lacks something - specifically that it sets up an interesting dichotomy:  If you father children, you are either an irresponsible idiot or you are a hero taking risks and accepting a less materially wealthy life in the hope of benefiting your society in the future (and if you are the second, you might merely be arrogant).
