Giving men paternity leave would actually go a long way toward destigmatizing maternity leave. Right now we treat raising children, and particularly babies, as almost entirely the mother’s responsibility. Women are penalized for procreating and men are not because women are expected to make major lifestyle and career…

This is horrible all round. I used to know a woman who ran a non-profit that worked towards advancing prisoner rights in Canada. Talking to her about the issues that prisoners face it make you realize that practically no one cares one iota about people behind bars. Once we lock them up most of their rights, their…
