Men with low standards are enablers of poor behavior/choices in women, just like the women with low standards enable shitty, narcissistic dudes.
Sure, there are rare cases where it turns out alright and where there isn't much blame to be found (my own adoptive grandpa is one of them), but it's far from an ideal dynamic. Pretending the single mother to stepdad route is a happy ending for society just encourages men and women alike to take unnecessary risks or outright self-destructive choices.
>Should those kids be punished just because their mom made a mistake in trusting the wrong guy to procreate with
Men who avoid single mothers aren't punishing them. They have no obligation to pick up the pieces of a stranger's shattered life, especially not when that damage was self-inflicted.
The kids were punished entirely by their circumstances, fault for which lies squarely with their parents. The dad is typically a piece of shit, but that evidently didn't stop the mom from having his kids. Conversely, if she wisened up and left a shithead, she already did the best she could in the circumstances she found herself in.

I mostly agree with you, but there are some cases where a woman actually does marry the wrong guy and divorces him after she catches him cheating or something.

It's arguably not good for society. The kind of guy who can actually be a loving husband and strong father figure would be likelier to have a stable family and raise good kids if he did so with a biological family and a woman without massive amounts of baggage. Call me heartless, but the apple doesn't tend to fall far from the tree, so spending scarce good men on repairing broken families prolongs the influence of poor dynamics (and genetics) in society.
