The sexes are different. I think it's natural for a new mother to want to spend time with her baby and for a new father to safeguard his career, on which the livelihood of the family often depends, by working harder.
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoFearing that if you don't keep working your family will starve doesn't seem like an innate gender difference but a cultural problem. The new fathers I have known have all wanted to spend time with their babies.
- rayrey 4y agoYep. I structured my paternity leave as a series of Wednesdays off for several months so I only was on for two days and then off. Gave my wife a break that way.

The fact that we have people in this country who feel this way not only about paternity leave but also general vacation / sick time should not be a reflection on those people but on the corporations and a broken society.
- arnvald 4y agoMy male colleagues enjoy a few months of paternity leave without fear of losing their job. It's not a matter of sex, but culture, law, and policies.
