I like men, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Earlier I posted It's a man's world. And, it is.

I'll leave religion out of it though, and I hope you can too if you wish to comment.

In the UK, it's not even been 100 years for women to be allowed to vote.

In the USA, only 60% of women are illegible to have 12 weeks UNPAID maternity leave.

I'm just going to leave these facts here.

How much paternity leave are men entitled to?

@Sharon Theyre entitled.

@Sharon agreed both maternal & paternal leave should be increased to 22-26 weeks like in NZ that would be great 😇

SW-User

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit 😔 In the UK it's different. The year's maternity can be split as is needed, so both can be off together, or the men have the 2 weeks they always have had, or half and half.

@Sharon how much paternity leave do you think men would get if they actually gave birth?

Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 31-35, F

@SW-User the benefits to parents spending those first few months together with the babies is huge. Needs to be prioritized

SW-User

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit They do. And if the baby is prem, the dads need that time to recover from NICU too.

Mrsbetweenfatandfit · 31-35, F

@SW-User definitely that’s a traumatic experience that requires recuperation

@SW-User

Theyre entitled.

That doesn't answer my question. Are they entitled to more leave than women or less?

Probably less than we currently get. Men are expected to "man up" and get on with it.
