Remind Fox of their own story: "Moms Can Be Deadbeats Too"

Ran back in 2002 here. Excerpt:

'Single dads are sick and tired of being labeled "deadbeats" when it comes to paying child support. And data suggest they have good reason to be upset.

The percentage of "deadbeat" moms is actually higher than that of dads who won't pay, even though mothers are more consistently awarded custody of children by the courts.
...
"It’s not the exception anymore," Wood said, adding that before he became a single dad two years ago, "I would have almost bought into that stereotype" the dads are usually the deadbeats. But "that philosophy is just 30-40 years out of date."
...
And moms who don’t have custody of the kids often remarry and have more kids, and often choose to not work.'

I doubt they would run this today. Apparently feminists hadn't taken over the editorial room back then.
