No, my argument is that your argument about young mothers not having designer fingernails, or facebooking over their ipads is wrong. I'm far from the idea that people should give birth at the field, which they used to, but I also despise putting childbirth as an excuse for not doing any job/work for ages (3 years around here) and complaining what hard work raising kiddos is. It's work, no doubt, but it ain't hard labor.
you have to see that in relation.
The education methods on how to raise once children have changed drastically. People used to tie their offspring to poles in their garden while they worked.The hands off, friend > parent style that is more common theses days, makes raising your child a much harder task.

I do, and I specifically noted the relation in my last sentence.

Not where I come from. My grandma was left caring for the infants while her parents were working, because having something to eat is more important than being there for your kid all the time, the first one is needed to live through. My grandfather was sent to collect the straw for the animals (alone!) with their mule after he returned from school (1-4th grade). I don't claim this is right, again, it's how things were. So forgive me for not getting teary when a mother of new complains their partner works too much and she's left with all the child care ... I can hardly believe that the guy wants to work 10 or more hours, but I imagine bringing food and shelter, and ipads and designer fingernails is deemed important enough.
I realize I must come as a chauvinistic pig, but really I'm not sexist, I just hate hypocrisy. The current state of the debate is that women are discriminated because of their gender, and that thicks me off. It used to be the case, but it isn't anymore. Historically men have taken the most dangerous and most demanding jobs, and they still do, due to simple biology. We are stronger and faster (due to hormones) and after we seed the field, excuse the vulgarity, we are much more expendable. So when I hear that women are misrepresented in say managerial position (which in my conservative country counterintuitively they aren't, as a matter of fact we have one of the best scores in that regard in the EU), I can't help but wonder why the activists aren't concerned that women are misrepresented in construction jobs or welding, or metallurgy or mining. You can't have it both ways, sorry. And don't get me wrong, I don't defend discrimination, but from an equation of a billion variables some people have picked one and made conclusions. Conclusions that are wrong and that have inevitably crept in into policy and law.
Equal representation is myth, a chimera, that's not equity, it's equality, and Animal Farm makes a great example of what equality looks like. Equal opportunity on the other hand is ultimately desirable and right. And by the way it's already the law. What people should realize is that left to their own devices, people, men and women, are ultimately free to make their own different choices.The hands off, friend > parent style that is more common theses days, makes raising your child a much harder task.
You can't be a friend with your child, sorry. Friends implies equality and you're not really equal with your offspring, you're their parent.

Yeah, you guys are easily triggered :) I only meant to say computers are not just for nerds anymore. I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition...

Nobody expects The Spanish Inquisition.... -
It wouldn't be worth its salt as an Inquisition otherwise, would it? :)

Yep, sorry about that. But my bud walked head first into that one, voluntarily no less.

I don't really want to derail this any further 😉
