I hear it more from men. But again, it depends who you are talking to. If you listen mostly to feminists, you'll hear a lot more about the pressure to prioritise children and fit your working life round that if at all.https://twitter.com/OwenEdwards/status/998975920345178113 …

The men I know who feel like that don't tend to think it automatically limits options for kids (though perceptions about finance might). I think the obvious biological aspects might naturally create more of an opportunity cost for young women. Ofc it varies a lot!

No, but in reality, it is much the same. Biologically, women only need a few months off to produce a baby. After that, the choices about making your childcare responsibilities fit around your job or your job fit around your childcare responsibilities belong to both sexes.

Ideally, they'd balance it between them so kids get to see plenty of both their parents and both parents get to bond fully with kids but in reality, one will probably do more & that one will be the one who is less careerminded. In most cases, that will be the man. For us, no.
