What they do in Sweden is give father only-leave to encourage dads to spend time raising the kids (instead of the mother sometimes).
They understand if they want an equality-based society they need to subsidize that.

In America, we talk equality...or we talk traditionally family values. But when push comes to shove -- the market takes precedence over either one. We don't use the government to support equality or the traditional family. We just let the market pay women less because they have to take time off to have/raise kids. We just let men pull ahead and don't encourage them to help with child rearing. We also don't give mothers checks for having children like in Germany. This encourages them to stay home and have kids instead of working for a more traditional society. |
Take the WE out of your post and replace it with I.
None of what you say is relevant in my life at all.
