Mandatory non-birthing parent leave is cool and good but it absolutely doesn’t need to be a dogmatic 50%

not necessarily 50%, no, but i can see no serious argument against there being a mandatory quota in principle

it being inconvenient does by no means imply that it is not practical and i cannot see how it impacts my argument in any serious way

i would, in fact, be comfortable with positing that structural discrimination in the labour market is equally if not more inconvenient than the arrangements required to ensure that the child is fed through the mother's employment and i am confident that i have literally the entire feminist movement in the country backing me up here

Again, please talk to people who’ve nursed their kids a bunch. When my wife started working again I brought our kid to her office for nursing, that’s how much of a pain it is to pump.

that is also a way to arrange it! again, my position is shared by pretty much every group calling itself feminist in norway, which i am confident includes at least a couple of mothers

the point is, convenience issues re breastfeeding do not constitute a reasonable argument against some form of mandatory quota, even if one accepts as granted that children must absolutely be breast-fed. pumping, in my argument, is one way people can and do solve this problem - and, as you point out, there are other ways. workplaces should of course be expected to accommodate breastfeeding insofar as it is at all possible

- Vi som er opptatt av mer pappapermisjon, blir ofte møtt med at det er viktig at mor er hjemme hele veien for å fullamme til seks måneder. Realiteten er at de fleste allerede tilpasser ammerådene til egne liv. Det er legitimt, og vi må kunne innrette politikken etter det. .

- Oppleves det ikke greit i dag?

- Mange småbarnsforeldre opplever at de må forklare seg hvis de tar fram tåteflaska, og kvier seg for å si til legen eller helsestasjonen at de har sluttet med amming helt eller delvis.

Selv gikk Lysbakken ut i permisjon da hans datter var fem måneder gammel.

- Da var hun flaskebarn. Men i boka har jeg ikke skrevet noe om hvorfor. Det må være et valg folk tar uten å måtte forklare seg.

- Alt er greit
Lysbakken mener det er blitt et unisont press i helsevesenet og samfunnet om å amme mye. Han vil at kvinner skal slippe å ha dårlig samvittighet for å velge annerledes.

- Hvor mener du grensen bør gå, er det greit ikke å amme i det hele tatt selv om man kan?

- Jeg mener at alt er greit. Voksne mennesker må bestemme dette selv, som en del av familienes valgfrihet. Så håndterer man rådet fra helsemyndighetene som det det er, et godt og begrunnet råd som gjør at de fleste som kan amme gjør det.

Seriously though, if you think breastfeeding is more of a hassle than closing the wage gap/involving fathers in child-rearing is worth you just might be a pretty privileged woman or just have some pretty dumb opinions. I'm sure that poo poo is a hassle, but we should be looking at the bigger picture. Also, if we're bringing lived experiences into this let's have them from the source and not through the goony filter of the spouse? I'm not convinced a lot of these women would argue the former point even if they did complain to their husbands at the time.

As long as the mandatory leave the non birthing parent gets does not cut deep into the sub 12 months age where breastfeeding have the most health impact I'm perfectly fine with a mandatory 1:1 ratio too. Because if it does cut into that ideal breastfeeding age it will just become yet another incentive to stop breastfeeding earlier, because pump time or nursing time is just such a loving hazzle that the ones that can do it just stops instead. It's just that in Sweden that 1:1 ratio could work decently, but in places where the total parental leave is shorter, like the Netherlands or Denmark, the ratio makes no sense from a child health perspective. So what you really should promote is longer parental leave, and couple it with a fixed ratio (appropriate for the total amount of time) for the non birthing parent.

Lol at posters with obviously no experience of breastfeeding or babies trying to have opinions on something they have no concept of.
The variance in how the first year goes for a child is massive and the practicalities is not something that the government should try to regulate, besides the obvious of keeping track of the health and stop abuse.

With respect to the mandatory days for the dad, note that not even Sweden has 4 months mandatory months but 3. Another thing is the fact that the number of days the dad took in Sweden have historically slowly increased and it happened well in advance of the second mandatory month for the dad and not the other way around.

My point is this:
If society works towards gender equality by creating acceptance and opportunities for getting children without having to sacrifice career and money then equality will slowly happen by itself, which history have clearly shown.
The belief that specific political decisions can regulate human behaviors is a naive one at best.

for real though if your leading objection to a political argument is 'you have never been personally subject to this policy and so have no say in the matter', you probably ought to re-evaluate your impulses because lol if only the rich were allowed to discuss estates or fortune tax we'd all be right hosed

Sign me the gently caress up. Also, being allowed leave with only one kid (so you can take the kid to do their favorite thing without having the other in tow). Also having more than 20 hours of preschool when you’re home with a 31 days old baby. Also not being limited in the amount of days the parents can take together.

Well, that's hardly surprising. You see, it turns out when you sit down and examine the issue closely and carefully weigh the neutral facts of the matter in a reasonable context, Listhaug is a worthless piece of poo poo.

Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Brian Mikkelsen, is quitting his job to become managing director of the Chamber of Commerce. Yes, no conflict of interest there at all.

His position is filled by one of the absolute worst people in Danish politics, Rasmus Jarlov.
