but I wonder if a problem with open relationships involving couples planning on having kids is that the man might (for genetic reasons) care less for a child even if he knows with certainty that the child is theirs.

Yes, until recently it was impossible to know with certainty that the child was his.

And even today feminist organizations are doing their best to keep it that way. For example, they managed to criminalize paternity testing in France.

By that standard, sex is also criminalized in many countries -- after all, it's only legal if the participants consent.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the French law, but your interpretation of facts seems a little... creative.

They criminalized it for the main purpose that one would need to use it for.
