Agreed. I think we need to move away from 'maternity' and 'paternity' leave though, and steer into a far more general area of 'parental' leave.

I think universal parental leave could go a long way to solving some of these problems, whilst also working to help increase equality in the household.

Well said... just because one group has it worse, or there is more of a problem elsewhere, doesn't make it okay to disregard other wrongs and injustices.

Maybe he's Batman, and it's all an act.

But I hate this whole "lean in/lean out" business.... I'm not leaning anywhere. I'm just wandering my own path.

I feel you. I woke up just this morning and thought to myself "I'm 27 and not a CEO yet... something has gone horribly wrong".

I feel like it would be very similar. The corporate ladder climbing thing is going out of fashion I think, or at least it should be.

I had to ask a potentially dumb question... but are we celebrating misandry in this article, or being ironic? I can't tell.

You're on a whole other level, aren't you?

I admire your courage in standing by your lifestyle choice so openly Westmark! 'To each, their own' is the key to this entire discussion I think.

I do find it disheartening that a number of commentors on here are sort of shaming you for that choice. The question "what about kids?" for example. Why is it assumed that…

... and yet it's double standards that erode at people's perceptions of feminism's credibility. That is very convenient for the Patriarchy, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah. Geez.

Well said.

True, but it doesn't make it right that they exist at all.

Haha! I see what you did there.
