If you're going to make me defend my point of view the least bit of courtesy you can do is read my comment properly.

- Cushman 12y agoSorry, I'm struggling to come up with another reading of "This is exactly why gender roles are so important." I'd love for you to clarify.
- Diamons 12y agoIf you believe in evolution, you believe that different genders have different traits that make them better suited for different aspects of life. When you have a child, you make a choice that you will help raise it. You are responsible for another life and that IS your job. When you decide that you want to be responsible for another life but then make choices that directly contradict that like not being around for the majority of the day, you hurt the child's upbringing. No matter what your reasons are, a child misses out on the growing experience that nature and evolution have designed. The reasons behind that decision may be unavoidable and I don't see the world in black and white but if you want to be a parent you should act like a parent to the best of your ability.
- Cushman 12y agoOkay, that's helpful. And do you think, or not, that means people should be classified as either workers or parents at birth?
- Diamons 12y agoNo, people should have the right to choose. At the least being around sometimes is better than nothing.
- Cushman 12y agoGot it. So, if I understand what you're saying now, it should be fine if a mother wants to give birth and keep working while the father takes care of the child full-time? In which case, I am sorry I overreacted. But WTH do gender roles have to say about this other than that some people who don't want to be parents don't have a choice?
