Americans want paid family leave and affordable child care, why can't we get it? 7 years ago
What about "Equal pay for equal work"? Why should a company pay their single, infertile, gay, older, or otherwise childless employees less for doing the same job?
We've just gone full-circle from the 1950s notion that a married man should get a higher salary because he had a family to take care than a single man or a woman, only instead of it being a top-line higher salary now it's the same salary but with thousands of dollars in paid-leave, healthcare funding, childcare subsidies, etc.
And don't pretend it's for "the good of society" or something - we don't give paid leave to do charity work with the poor or environmental cleanup or anything that would actually meaningfully improve the world.
