Tell you what, when men throw up 24 hours a day for 3 months straight, carry a baby for 9 months, go through a 74 hour labour & can breastfeed their babies then feel free to share the paid time off work to care for the baby. Until then, bugger off.https://twitter.com/benatipsosmori/status/1114815127147220992 …

But you are

I’m really not. Bed-ridden for 3 months with 24 hour a day “morning sickness”. Couldn’t lift my head without throwing up. Then went into labour early on Sunday am and my daughter was born on Wed am.
-
In my case the supposed "morning sickness" was 24/7 for around 6 months, abated, then returned in labour but, thankfully, labour was short. Only really after the birth did my tastebuds return & I could tolerate the smell of food &, particularly, coffee without retching.

Actually paying fathers good money for being stay at home dad's money which the family would lose if he didn't, like they tried in Denmark. Might be the only solution we have found to solve the motherhood wage gap? Needs to be enough money most people can't afford to turn down...
-
The motherhood wage gap is often the choice of women who prefer to work part time and balance work with family life. Life isn’t all about money.

Yes but if more fathers are enabled and encouraged to be the primary carers it leads to more equality of opportunity. Some women aren't natural nurturers, some men are. For some being a parent is their favourite thing, for others it can be their biggest regret.

You should get more maternity pay then than other women that had it easier.

Not all women go through that, my wife didn't, she actually wondered why, after giving birth the first time, some women make such a big deal of it, she says having a root canal treatment is worse than childbirth.
