I think the baby issue is solvable by making maternity leave into parental leave. Make it so that it can be shared between the two parents, say the mother has to take the first 6 weeks and the rest may be shared between both parents as they see fit. That way men are just as much of an economic risk as women.
That's very un-PC but it's probably true. It is kind of expected that women will take time off for sick kids, parent teacher meetings etc but if and when men do the same it is frowned upon. In my experience men are expected to work late and generally eat into family time when required but the same is not expected of women. I'm certainly not saying that's the way it should be but it is often the case, especially in smaller organisations.I spent the bulk of my life in a workplace where men and women were paid the same, there was much more expected of the men, just my 10 cents...
It's about giving people the same choices.well if your number one goal is the reshaping of everything so as everything is exactly the same , i suppose
the kind of people who scream about " gender pay gaps " and such tend to want the state to dictate every move people make
It's about giving people the same choices.
Why do women get 6 months to bond with their children and men only get 2 weeks? equality has to work both ways.
Why does children's allowance automatically go to the mother? Are fathers not parents too?
What is it about then?Oh did you think the " equality " thing was about that ?
What is it about then?
so did you honestly think those who shout loudest about gender equality actually gave a damn about the plight of men ?
feminism is poison
People who campaign for the rights of one group are not going to spend their energy talking about other groups. That doesn't mean they don't give a damn about those other groups. Concern campaign for those in need in the developing world. That doesn't mean that the people working there don't care about issues at home.
For me there is a real issue with the femininisation of society but saying that all people who identify as feminists are anti men and are looking for dominance rather than equality is just not true. There is certainly a group who are anti-men but they don't own the word feminist.then drop the " equality " tag line
feminism is about lobbying for female advantage in any given situation or scenario , that and blaming men for every ill in the world
its utterly divisive , i fear for my fourteen month sons future in many ways
