What I notice after many years working with a variety of businesses: New dad gets more opportunities because he has to “support” a new baby. New moms gets less opportunities because she has to “take care of” a new baby. It’s unfair assumptions. These archaic ideas prevail.

I dont necesarily disagree with your position, but might it be more complicated? Is it actually an unfair assumption? Doesnt a mother have biologically more responsibility to care for a baby? Do fathers naturally think they need to make more income? Do assumptions go both ways?
-
Those are decisions to be made by the parents and not by their employers. It's the assumptions that keep these inequalities alive.

BECUASE THEY SHOULD BE HOME TAKING CARE OF THE CHILDREN THAT NEED THEIR LOVE NOT WORKING
-
Fathers should be held to the same level of responsibility in taking care of their children. Unless that family elects to breastfeed (which is declining in popularity and not necessary) then there's no reason the mother has more obligation to stay home than the father.
-
Breastfeeding not necessary? Most studies show breastfeeding is best for infant development. I don’t know of a single hospital or practitioner that suggests formula to breastfeeding, when breastfeeding is an option.

The statistic could be skewed by women who CHOOSE to work less or with more flexibility. As a working mom, I can say this did not happen to me.

Surely this just means that men are more likely to work overtime after becoming fathers, and women are less likely to work overtime after becoming mothers? More hours worked = More money earned.

My wages have consistently grown since having a child... maybe this applies to celebrities only and you should poll real Americans instead?

It appears you are a male, re-read the initial tweet.

While wy wife is doing well, her employer pro-rated her annual bonus by the 3 months she was on paid maternity leave. That was kinda shitty.

Any man or woman could need to take short term or long term disability leave during their career for an injury/surgery. Birth is a major physical trauma. Shouldn't assume any woman WILL have kids, so it's unfair to assume she will cost the company any more than a man for leave
