So men are jerks when they don’t do anything to help raise their kids. But are also jerks when they get lauded for taking the (Admittedly) small steps that you’re saying men should take. Again, not how I’d approach the situation, but I hope it works out for you.

Seriously. Let’s not celebrate a man going against the standard and spending more time with their new child? If it was the norm then I would understand, but until then we SHOULD be celebrating it, writing about it, etc to help it become the norm.

Yeah. I’m not sure this article has it right. My opinion is—if taking paternity leave is seen as the norm, it won’t be as shocking/“disruptive” when women take maternity leave.   Of course, I also want to see laws passed to pay for paternity leave, etc.

Progress if not perfect is bad....?

This is a shit take. Yes, let’s discourage workers’ rights because not all groups have equal access to it. This is exactly how conservatives argue against all types of labor protections, including affirmative action.

Crazy world, eh?

Celebrating shit people is how we got trump.

Ding ding ding ding.

Yup. We can all make jokes, but it’s really happening. This is how the Nazis were born.

That’s how it was done in the USSR.
