        On top of it let's add that women have full say regarding the timing of reproduction, while men have little to none. @sapinker @ProfessorF

        That's just Feminism backfiring, Feminism hurts women too. Incoming calls for *fairness* instead of *equality*.

        Forgotten in this tweet is same-sex male families, whom the changes to restrict for women would harm.

        @clairlemon Giving time is like giving money. If people invest differently, that's not so much a legitimate government concern.

        @nytimes I thought it was supposed to help kids, mothers and fathers... Was it instead intended or sold as helping all women?
