The males definitely do not want a whole bunch of kids they don't want to have to deal with all the different baby mamas.

You don't understand the culture and how it works the system. The more children a woman has the more money she gets, unlike those of us that work to support our children, them having more children is not accompanied with additional financial burden. The men have nothing to do with their kids, but will hit up the moms for money, the more "baby Mamas" the more places to get money, plus their is a pride/ bragging rights in how many kids they have fathered. My wife provided medical care to a lot of these kids and saw it all worked first hand. Getting a vasectomy or using birth control is equivalent to killing the golden goose.
