This is one of those things that shouldn't need to be explained, even to 20-something tech bros who've never had a child themselves.

  Of course not. Nothing needs to be explained or justified anymore. We have an entire generation so fully confident in the absolute correctness and obviousness of every single iota of their many strongly held moral opinions that even asking for an explanation offends them. And they can’t understand why they keep on failing to achieve their policy goals. PS: I don’t think there were too many <= 19 year olds signing up for hacker news in 2011.

Just to be clear hear, we're talking about parents being able to take care of their newborns and not being forced back to work after "2-4 weeks" as the OP stated.

    OK, please explain how fixing housing, healthcare, education will remove the need for parental leave. It's your argument, motivate it.
