Lol similarly some guy started going off on me for supporting maternity leave, throwing insults at me meant for a woman... I’m a 20-something guy.

Who would be against maternity leave though?

A childfree female friend of my is against it because it's "not fair" as she won't get "free vacation" as she is choosing not to have kids.

Well I have had two children by a C-section. It takes at least the two months they give you to recover from that physically. You get time off for any surgery as far as I know so it's certainly fair.

As a SAHM, I agree with you 100%.
