[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saying, based on shaky research, that a parent should stay home or work part time for years, is absolutely anti-woman.

Paid parental leave is great and I SUPPORT IT but no program will make that parent whole for their financial and career losses as a result of taking a step back from your career for years. For starters, no paid leave program offers multiple YEARS of paid leave. While some do mandate full salaries, most do not. And there is evidence that more than 6 months of leave has negative career impacts.

And you can say well men SHOULD be making that sacrifice just as much as women and I AGREE with that, but the REALITY is that this burden currently falls and will continue to fall mostly on WOMEN. Which you very well know and are ignoring. That sacrifice is significant and has massive impacts on women's ability to be financially secure in retirement.[/quote]

Agreed, and it absolutely ridiculous how that poster waves around such weak evidence. If you are going to cite to “research” to justify your anti-woman screeds, you had better be able to dig in on those studies and understand their strengths and flaws. I’m not sure she even understands how to critically read an academic study, let alone discuss the methodology, statistical analysis used, and precision of the conclusions. It’s basically just bigotry at this point masked by handwavy appeals to “science.”
