Bullshit
According to preliminary research, 45% of fathers are spending more time taking care of young children compared to before the pandemic.

“The pandemic has reshaped the way fathers are involved with their families and children,” said Garfield, who was not part of the study. “Whether it is play, reading a book or getting down on the floor and spending time with their kids, this is an unprecedented opportunity for fathers to be really involved.”

It's almost as if people are actually making their own personal decisions within their relationships, rather than being pushed in a particular direction by external forces! Maybe the ongoing legacy of sexism in childcare arrangements has to do with the personal choices that people make in how to distribute labor and whether or not to breed in an unequal relationship. Maybe women should stop breeding with shitty men if they want equality in the home, hmm?

I'm thinking an agenda is brewing: more paid leave for parents to watch their kids, possibly bringing them in the workforce or parents get to telework all the time, or maybe skools open all the time or providing all the meals.

There is sexism in this world, but the suggestion that personal responsibility plays a factor is sometimes met with being "antifeminist." I am a feminist and I believe in equal pay for equal work, access to birth control and abortion services, etc.

These women act like the situation "just happened" to them. No policy in the world is going to help these women when they breed with a loser. These women have 100% of the pussy---be selective and pick smarter!

But how many are doing it voluntarily? I have a feeling that a decent chunk of them are only caring for their kids because their wives bitched at them to do so, and even then, I guarantee they're doing a piss-poor job of it because they don't like their kids a whole lot.Quote

Orly now? Because I've read r/breakingmom enough by now to know the pandemic is merely giving Duhs the opportunity to be home and neglect their kids in favor of their own much more fulfilling hobbies because brat-minding is Moo's job. I'm sure some of them have become more involved, but a vast majority are fully content to park their asses in front of their computers or games and not interact with the family in any way the whole day.
Fuck I hope nobody paid money to do this study. If anything, the pandemic is making parents hate parenting even more because of the fact they're around their kids more than before.

Breeding is such a self-inflicted problem. It's like a person that jumps off a cliff and breaks some bones, then complains that they have to pay for someone to do their housecleaning and shopping during their convalescence. They don't want the government to erect any barriers at the cliff, they just expect society to pay for their personal assistant.

Not to mention that most Duhs feel that being involved fathers means doing things like weakly telling their kid to shut up once a month, instructing their Moo-wives on how to "properly" parent, or the elusive diaper change he does one time during his kid's whole life. After that, whoo boy is he bushed, so he's not gonna do any more parenting for about five years. It doesn't help that a lot of Duhs don't seem all that interested in parenting until the kid is older and capable of doing stuff with him like sports or messing with cars or playing video games.
Obviously there are exceptions and I can't paint all fathers as worthless assholes, but goddamn there are a lot of them.

Ring! Ring! We have a winner!
I think it's a push for more paid leave for breeders plus permanent teleworking. Probably also reduced workdays/workweeks, while keeping the same salary.
Permanent teleworking in jobs where it is possible would be a welcome move in my eyes, but you just know that it isn't going to be universal, but instead awarded to the people who have the most distractions and therefore the least opportunity to successfully telework, aka breeders.
I am also in favor of the reduced workweek/reduced working hours, which has been trialed by several companies with good results. Since people are already slacking off, productivity actually increases when the work is more concentrated. But I'm only a fan if it is granted to everyone, not just breeders (and not just office workers).
