In the interest of equality for employment opportunities there should be a forced paternity leave such that women are not disadvantaged in employment hiring. Given this equality, it should not take the latin prefixes of "mater" and "pater", but "parens" - ie parensity leave. Further, since raising children is a societal obligation, this should fall as a burden on the state, as they will be collecting the taxes from the wealth produced by the well raised children. Therefore, Parensity leave should be a state funded legal requirement, and not an employer obligation.

- hndamien 4y agoThats great, although I would say that I think that the maternity benefits should not exceed the parental benefits for time off, as this creates a different burden on an employer for two equally matched candidates. So, while a mother is arguably more deserving of a break, the long break creates a different cost to an employer which may negatively effect a woman who is yet to (or may never) have a child.
