Time off for hobbies and maternity leave are two very, very different things. Also, slippery slope arguments are considered so fallacious because they're often the most extreme visions of what will happen, when the most likely change will be very, very little. The same rhetoric was used to inhibit women's voting rights, but ended up being fallacious as well.
- undersuit 11y agoAre hobbies and child-rearing really that much different? Hobbies can be just as time consuming and expensive. Some hobbies can interfere with work in a long term way just like maternity leave. Really the similarity only falls part that maternity is sometimes not a choice... and I'd rather not open the can of worms that is abortion; let's just assume that just like a hobby, you have chosen this path.
