How dare parents want to take parental leave, and how dare the UK have one of the most generous statutory leave schemes in the world.

The Daily Mail story was surprisingly sympathetic, how vile must this person be for that to be the takeaway.

Yeah, I get that it isn't actually the worst part of their views, but their inability to talk about anything else just gives it that extra boost of awfulness.

It's like comparing a portashitter where the seat is merely drizzled in piss and the only other one has diarrhea explosively blasted on the seat, the toilet paper roll, and the entire inside of the door.

In my state and current employer both men and women get the same amount of paid leave for a new child. This also includes foster and adopted children. So I don't get what the big deal is, since I assume the UK would be even more generous.

52 weeks, two weeks mandatory for the birth mother and the rest can be shared between both parents, with 39 of the weeks receiving some level of pay.

We had plenty of those in the US before the Southern Strategy really took hold and the economic and social right really banded together. There's still a lot of "sure I'd go for all those social policies it it only went to the right (white) people" in the rank and file of the right.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

I mostly feel bad for Jake, it should really be 2 week minimum for whichever parent gave birth. What Hannah's done in the past 9 months to produce young?

(trans men having biokids will always be amazing to me, especially given how aggressively feminine and pink everything about maternity is. Braver than the troops.)

Jake's not giving birth. His eggs were used for the process but they were harvested more than nine months ago, so he also doesn't meet your criteria.
It does sound like it was pretty brave of him to go through the egg harvesting process though.

Looks like they're using a surrogate so that's the person who needs mandatory time off for healing. Still, leave it to TERFS to act like a trans woman is getting cooties on the concept of maternity leave by taking a right extended to all parents.

Boomers are cowards that refused to fight for their homeland, stabbed it in the back for their own economic benefit, and their children are intellectually deficient subhuman deviants.

...

Nah, doesn't work because boomer guilt can be overwhelmingly proven with legitimate empirical data.
