Yes, they work less and are more on public support

So, do they work less because they have to take care of the children?

If that's true they should offer this support to people who work less, not all women. It's just another excuse for women to have everything handed to them.

It's not going to encourage women working either.

Wait, if it's true that they work less because they are caring for the children then they should pay people who aren't caring for children to work less because...why?? I'm sooo confused.

And they shouldn't pay men who are caring for children because...why??

Like I said it's an excuse for why they're helping women more than men.

Who said they aren't? Most societies still place most of the child-rearing burden upon women. Which is why I ASKED if that was why. It's possible it's slightly different where they are. You are making a lot of fucking assumptions and you're weirdly obsessed with me - like, go continue our argument or whatever.

Women who aren't raising children should not get the benefits. Men who are raising children should. That's the problem.

That's not what they said. None of the convo was saying that. You're making shit up.

They were saying women get back more than they pay in by virtue of being women.

They were inferring it was by virtue of being women which is why I asked about the childcare portion. I can't read it so I have to go based on their word. If a bunch of it was childcare then it would make sense. A society would want to make sure children have what they need to grow up and not be monsters.
