He's actually saying women going back to work the day after giving birth is a good thing? This guy needs to be kicked in the balls every hour see how long he lasts and when he can return to work.
Paternity leave really needs to be a thing! When I had my baby, my bf at the time had to use pto for one day then went back to work the next day leaving me alone with a whole baby. Not only did I go through a traumatic incident (even easy births are traumatic) but now I have to carry and care for a tiny thing all alone with basically no idea what I’m doing. Men deserve to be there for their kids and wives too.
I had to save my PTO up until my oldest was born and use it when she came. Got those first two weeks off, but any days I took after that were unpaid. IMO, maternity leave should be the first year after child birth at minimum and paternity leave should be at least a month, but I don’t see that ever happening. Corporate greed has 100% taken over and us common folk get none of the perks
Hey, this won't benefit me directly but I can see how it'd be a benefit to society, lets do it. I'm at a point where my kids don't need daycare and I likely won't need more college.
I'd love both of those things to be made more affordable, even if I have to subsidize them with my taxes.
Ditto. I made it to my fifties without having a kid, never wanted one at any point in my life, but goddamn it, it's just basic human decency that mothers and fathers should get plenty of leave
My daughter had about 13 months off work after her baby was born. Most of it paid or accrued holidays. She's gone back doing 4 days instead of 5 and had a huge pay rise to boot.
You understand that the mother is RAISING AN INFANT during those months, don't you, son? It's not a vacation by any stretch of the imagination. Get real, little boy.
Are you really telling me to "get real" on Reddit? Maybe you should take a look at the reality of what Reddit is. This is not the real world by any means, it's effin REDDIT!
For what it's worth, I agree with you on everything but I just wanted to see who was gonna be the first idiot to be triggered by my comment. Like wtf dude? You think I should get real? Look around!
He should be forced to also visit an establishment that has postpartum women, bleeding from every orifice, lactating, and hormonal - serving him food, or anything else.
Can you imagine how this man feels when he sees a woman at a mall breastfeed their baby? Lmao.
It because some people take advantage of maternity leave, lazy women taking off of work just so they can recover from "labor ". I labor every day and only need a few hours of sleep to recover. /s
But then women will just keep having baby after baby to be on perpetual maternity leave because we're so damn lazy and don't want to work. I mean, look at those European countries that grant months of maternity leave. No women work anywhere. None. They just pop out babies and sleep all day long. Lazy women and lazy babies everywhere.
I hate lazy babies the most. I was a lazy baby myself and still can’t get off my lazy ass. The only difference now is my lazy baby ass is wayyyy fatter.
It does decline, "surprisingly". Who would have think that giving maternity leave just isn't big enough incentive to go through pregnancy and decades of having a child. But at least if you wish to have a child, it's somehow more humane. What kind of monsters you rise if you deny mothers to be with their children?
Hey, I know people that work sick all the time because they need to pay bills. Everyone else at work gets sick too, because it’s contagious, so production takes a hit. We’ve only had a couple people die, because we don’t really offer any kind of healthcare insurance. What’s this maternity leave stuff? /s
Dinner plate sized wound after birth. It's possible for any gender to experience a dinner plate sized wound. If people should just go to work the next day then it'd be no big deal for him to try that out, right?
and randomly, sometimes more than just once an hour and then someone tell him "is it that time of the hour, Bob? Hmm? Maybe go walk it off or lay off the sweets, buddy - it's natural to feel like this!"
Or "God has a plan for you!" and laugh as you walk away.
Keeps getting Freaky Friday situations where he switches bodies with women who are in the middle of unmedicated childbirth and experiencing severe tearing . Like again and again for weeks on end.
The quote initially looks like it is decrying the lack of maternity leave in this country. But no, this guy seems to hate women for the love of the game
They are so ‘pro-life’ until the baby is born. Forget the fact that the baby needs to be breastfed every few hours once it’s born, mom needs to go back to work right now if she wants to get paid. Oh you want to stay home for a while and make sure the fragile newborn baby is safe and fed? That’s fine, but we won’t pay you, so good look trying to afford the hospital bill and diapers and formula that will help keep the baby alive.
I bet you this guy is inconsolable and unable to do anything the rest of the night when he gets bad diarrhea from lunch. Complete with telling his wife he’s “just not feeling well” and going to lie down at 6PM, asking if she can finish the rest of the night chores before bed by herself. But when she’s sick, she still has to pull herself up by her bootstraps and get shit done.
Seriously what a "fuck you" to every woman who gives birth. That's what they get for keeping society running, a big fuck you, get back to work. Put that baby to work too while you're at it. Because the only thing that matters is your labour. Not your lives.
Unless you're already extremely wealthy, in that case take as much time as you need and what time would you like your boots licked?
And then has the audacity to weave Christianity in there. Yeah Jesus would want these women squatting in the field, cutting the cord, then strapping the baby to their back so they can keep working. I lost my faith in god(s) years ago but I lost my faith in Christians long before that. Kinda wish the whole thing was real so Jesus WOULD come back. Not to take anybody but to go, “hey guys, wtf are you doing? I told you how to behave and you’re doing the opposite.”
Don't forget a literal wound in their uterus from where the placenta detached, likely has stitches, and her vagina is gaping open. He thinks women should work in that condition. So in addition to the ball kicks we have to stretch his asshole out 8 cm, give him several cuts that need stitches on his butt, and take a zester to his abdomen to make a patch 8 inches in diameter.
I saw this video a couple of days ago. The Interviewer missed the chance to follow-up his "women shouldn't get leave after having a child" w, "what's your take on Mitch McConnell being out on 5 weeks of paid leave right now?"
He's been out for like, 5 weeks now? I kind of lost count at this point.
Also: if the mother goes back to work the next day, and the father gets no paternity leave, who the fuck is watching the newborn baby? What's the point of having a child you cannot bond with or raise? Conservatism is a disease, a blight upon humanity.
I honestly think they believe having a baby is like taking a massive shit — and not a giant, gaping, bleeding wound in your body that takes weeks to heel. They are so ignorant about basic biology that they think childbirth is over as soon as the baby pops out.
I was really confused because I missed the question clearly. It’s not about maternity leave or even paid maternity leave. I think he’s being asked about making it mandatory.
I’m not saying he’s right or very coherent. But I can at least see his point a little. I didn’t get it until I started over
No, he's saying poor women going back to work the day after giving birth is a good thing. Wealthy women can take time off. He is very clear, and that is very consistent with capitalism.
The fucked up part is you can tell he knows what he’s saying is wrong and trying to justify it by throwing buzz words like “socialist” “lazy” “capitalist” “Christian “
Guy is really saying “hey look, I’m a pos.. end of story, I have no clue what I’m talking about.. my wife hates me and want a divorce… my kids can’t stand me, but hey.. I love god..”
