It seems to me that if men don't want to pay child support, the most effective strategy is to avoid getting a woman (or women) pregnant. Whining interminably about the injustice of being held accountable for one's actions [1] might be more in keeping with this period's zeitgeist but I don't think it actually accomplishes much of use.
