Maybe the implicit assumption is that society and work culture shouldn’t punish parents so harshly?

- vkou 7y agoThere's two implict assumptions. 1. If you're a working mother, you're currently assumed to either be a bad worker, or a bad mother. (Sad corollary: If you're a working father, most people don't assume this about you.) 2. If you're a professional man, and you want children, your wife is expected to compromise her career, to raise them. Both of these are, of course, complete bullshit.
