Someone less lazy and busy than me should write an issue about paternity leave, because that would rock.
It could be valid only for nations that have already accepted maternity leave, as in the recently added game issue. Now that mothers of newborns get paid leave (with or without the government compensating the company for the wages,) the men can stand up and be all "we want equal rights! They're our kids too! There should be a few months of paid parental leave for both parents to share, and the couple should decide who gets to take how many of those months themselves!" and then the women should be all "No! A man's place is at the office! Leave childcare to those who can handle it!" and then the evil big giant corporations can be like "approving maternity leave was a mistake in the first place! abolish it all! If they don't have someone to care for the child, they should just send it to the Child Labour wing of our factory!"
Tell me that wouldn't work.
