Wait, do you mean that less pressure on men to provide is a result of a declining gap?

If so, I think some people are mistakenly parsing your statement as "child support is a method of correcting the wage gap". I myself parsed it that way at first glance.

Err, I think so? The social pressure to marry and raise a family is a big part of the wage gap in the first place. Remove the social pressure, and it's going to help equalize the economic choices that the sexes make.
