- pbhjpbhj 7y agoIsn't it a private matter for a woman to decide whether to raise a child or not - regardless of the common good child rearing brings - assuming women raise children is wrong, and sexist too. There's statutory parental leave to cover pregnancy already. To mimic your response: men are the ones with the muscles, they are _typically_ stronger therefore we should discriminate. Seems wrong. (I'm just returning to my former work as my last child enters institutional schooling, and am male. There's a lot of discrimination here.)

When women stop being the primary ones raising the children then there will no longer be a need to be protections aiding them in finding part time work, but that is for some hypothetical future.
