Another way to look at this is anyone who can take that much leave is absolutely privilege compared to typical working class people. Back when I was working minimum wage or near minimum wage it was rare to even see women take more than a month off.
Many new fathers would only take one or two days. So at least with my working class background this is a couple of privileged people, from an extremely privileged class complaining about how much they should use their privilege.
The landlord doesn’t care all that much, while you can get three or four months of unpaid leave no working class person can afford to take all that much time.

- llampx 5y agoIt is also a privilege to have a roof over your head and running water. There are billions of people who don't have those things. I don't see how such ultra-woke comments add to the discussion.
- 999900000999 5y agoAll I'm saying is for most people taking 6 months off is a pipe dream. It's almost insulting for them to even have this argument. These are ultra billionaires who if they wanted to could just stop working to focus on being a parent. None of us normal people can do that
