Ha, ha. You're such a pathetic ***. "Men's rights, men's rights"
but all you can do about it is make lists on Usenet and snarl about nasty
old feminists.

I've been thinking that maybe child support statutes could be
challenged on equal protection grounds. There are no laws that compel
"normal" married parents to spend a certain percentage of their income
on a child, nor are there laws that compel a custodial parent to
contribute a certain percentage of her resources (as long as the kid
isn't starving, too badly beaten, and not dressed in rags she's a Good
Parent). Likewise, the government sets fair compensation for foster
parents and so on, and it's certainly not 3000/month/child.

Maybe someone with a real legal background could address
the feasibility of that approach.
