Newsflash, there's a wage gap in America. We're all told about it and most of us know it's true. What most folks won't tell you is that it's partly attributable to women missing more time from the workforce due to pregnancy and related issues. Now we have damn men missing work due to a pregnancy they're not even experiencing? Lord help us all. This society will never understand how people like Sacajawea were able to give birth and raise a child while participating in the Lewis and Clark Expedition.


Since "parental leave is B.S.", you're telling me that, as part of your benefits package provided by your employer, you wouldn't take 2 weeks of PAID parental leave to, as my company describes it, "bond with and care for the child"? rofl ok then

Now, the whole unpaid leave (FMLA?) for the fathers thing? Yeah I don't see the point in that except in extreme circumstances. I was ready to get back to work when my PAID leave was up.
