Once again, the words you choose betray antipathy towards women. Each phrase is packed with loaded words; it makes it impossible to have a legitimate discussion. Sorry for whatever experiences you've had that led to this.

It's better to refrain from attributing and condemning hidden intent and thoughtcrime. Let's stick to what's explicit when we communicate and maybe we'll avoid wasting each other's time.

> conditioned to think it's acceptable for them to not contribute back to society by being producers Maybe you've been conditioned to think that raising children does not contribute to society. I guess having both partners working to death is the new normal. Such widespread belief might explain why employers don't respect paternity leaves.

Maybe you've been conditioned to think that only women have the magical power to raise children?

That has nothing to do with the topic! The last line of my comment even mentioned paternity leave.

Some women gladly leave their career in favor of their children. Some men do it too, despite the stigma that "raising a child does not contribute back to society". Deal with it.

I won't reply to other posts.

The problem (as someone already mentionned in this thread) being that you can't actually raise children without some prerequisite things that need to be produced. I'm actually arguing against sex-based division of labor. Women & men should echo do doing 50% of the producing and raising not women 100% of raising and men 100% of producing.

P.S.: I don't care you won't reply to other posts
