See, here’s the thing: birth is hard. Like, proper hard. Medically, physically… That’s why women used to die, very frequently, in childbirth.
Hence, women need time to PHYSICALLY RECOVER from said birth, and also to breastfeed the fucking baby. That is literally why the concept of maternity leave was invented, once women stopped giving up work altogether, after they had kids…
Paternity leave, in and of itself… Is kind of bogus, because, hurrdurr, men don’t NEED to physically recover FROM GIVING BIRTH. Sure, you can argue “emotional support”, “minding the baby” and/or “sleep deprivation”, but inherently, such a concept can only exist in a modern, essentially post-scarcity, society…
For Butty-fuck, who ALMOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN THE BABY WAS BORN, or, if he was, he certainly wasn’t there to “emotionally support the (surrogate) mother”, to go on “maternity/paternity/sissy” leave, is just… Well it shows how fucking far, and fast, this society has declined…
Fuck this timeline. We are absolutely fucking screwed.
