What do you mean by "taking double in taxes"? Yes, parents also pay taxes, although usually less than single people because of the "split income". It is still a net transfer of money from single people to parents. (Not o

There are not many countries where you get full pay. Full pay makes it a different matter. And again, I am all for fathers taking time off to spend with their kids. I just think the narrative is harmful. Harmful to women, actually, who tend

It's only the "cost of doing business" because of man made arbitrary laws. It doesn't have to be the cost of doing business. Why do you claim "noone is demanding that", when in the next sentence you just shrug

You can't assume nor demand every company can deal with an employee getting hit by a bus. Not every company is a big corporation. Example: our childcare facility employs two people, and replacements are VERY difficult to find at the mo

"to get fathers to spend time with their children" I'm all for fathers spending time with their children, but this kind of framing annoys me. The feminist narrative, which governments seem to swallow, is that fathers don&#x27

"I mean we've had people trying to convince us for years that it was the Russian bots that put Trump in the White House" Just because people have been trying to convince us of that theory, doesn't mean we have to believe

Unfortunately I seem to have the passed the point of no return: I can't focus long enough to read an article on how to learn to focus for longer times :-(

"offer stuff for free until a bunch of people depend on it" Nobody can really be surprised by that, though? Meaning people who sign up are aware that it could happen eventually?

What I don't understand that the user agent for the latest version of Firefox (on Windows 10) has a similarity rating of just 0,31%.

Their server admin guides seem to be good, though. Whenever I google for how to do x things, their articles tend to come up. (I'm not a professional admin, obviously)

In what way do you think I present a caricature of feminism? Where would "non-caricature" feminism differ from my presentation?

Tracking is not automatically unethical. People could choose to do it for fun with their friends. They could enable it just on campus. People can be tracked by anonymous parties via their cell phones, anyway, so deliberate sharing for fun m

It's hard work, but not a burden. People have kids because they like having them. Keeping with the Ferrari analogy, cleaning your Ferrari is also hard work, but nobody would pity you for the "burden" or having to clean your F

Sorry, still not quite sure what you mean (I'm not a native speaker, maybe that's why). Childbearing is of course not the only cost of having a child. Custody and parental leave just make it a bit less expensive (at least for some

What exact benefits do you mean? I think technological progress has freed women to do other things than, say washing clothes and other household chores. That doing other things can of course benefit society, if they so chose. A washing mach

The "we" who benefits, would that include the children? Essentially, the going theory seems to be that society would be better of if it would delegate childcare to less people per child, contrary to the "traditional" one

No - what is going on is that feminists point to statistics of dads not staying home, then claim it is because dads "don't step up to help in the home". That's a feminist lie - several, actually. First lie: it is a burde

Mothers have the first pick because they invested more into the kid coming into being. They risked their life and invested 9 months into bearing the child. So they get first pick to also be the person spending time with the child.

It's hurting in some ways, for example in increased prices for housing. If families with two income earners compete with families with one income earner, the outlook is bleak for one earner families. Prices simply rise to what the two

It is not a burden, it is a privilege. For dads to step up, as feminists demand, mothers would have to give up that privilege. And if you believe the feminist narrative that it is dads forcing mothers to take care of the kids, consider that
