An author is receiving backlash after voicing that childless women also deserve a maternity leave. The concept is deemed a "meternity" leave, and Meghann Foye makes her statement in an article in the New York Post.
Foye, 38, thought up the idea when she was a magazine editor and became "envious" of her co-workers who would leave to care for their children after their eight hour days. She said that she felt as if all of the childless workers had to then pick up the slack and work for ten or more hours a day.

headache leave..........
Men need HORNY leave to exercise their need for orgasms....
provided they agree to be sleep deprived and exhausted for the whole six weeks.
= = =
And they will have to nurse someone.
Who????
Nowhere more than in Japan has that taken hold. It is....pathetic and sad.
They will put the dogs in elaborate clothes, fit for a child, and then push them around in baby buggies.
It makes the question of WHAT (actually who) is missing ALL THE MORE OBVIOUS AND PAINFUL.
I have seen it VERY many times, and it is foreboding and ominous.
The trend is so widespread that they have entire hot-springs devoted ONLY to dogs --I have been to these.
You know how some women like to meet as friends and they drag their husbands along, sort of like a "play date"..?
Much worse is the Japanese equivalent, where the married (and childless) humans come together, and in silence dejectedly watch the dogs play together.
It's pitiful. I LOOOOVE dogs, but they are OBVIOUSLY no substitute.
The dystopian book “Children of Men” featured the same thing, plus baptisms of kittens. The difference between the fiction and real life is that the people in the book did it because they could not have children - the human race was sterile. Those we’ve seen CHOSE it.
And like “The Marching Morons”, those with advanced degrees have perhaps 1 while those at the bottom had 2.5. Among my peers, two kids is a big family.Idiocracy, anyone?
In Germany, about 40% of the college educated women had no children - so they import Muslims hoping to turn them into liberal secularists. That’s a horror story unfolding today, a la “The Camp of Saints” or “Eurabia”.
It’s really a shame that those mothers are not caring for their own children at home.
Good one.
Very good! :)
So true
Amen!
when will it ever be acknowledged that because people still breed and have babies, our entire civilization, such as it is, will continue and we'll have some young people to change our diapers when we're old and then of course we get them to pay us all those taxes for our retirement...
so HAVE BABIES people.....HAVE BABIES....and our society will thankyou by giving you a few weeks at home with your child....
“Not everyone chooses not to have children.”
Truth.
The entire “pay me for doing no work” idea is insipid socialism brought on by communist unions. Extend it to welfare society, and well there you have the whole purpose of commies. More money, less work.
There is no reason to pay someone for taking a sick day or vacation day.
I described a scenario where nobody (including the childless women) was working any extra time; they just resented their poor choices in life - and it got worse as they aged (and co-workers added grandchildren).
I am thankful these co-workers didn’t breed, and never felt children (or even marriage) was for everyone. When someone lashes out that they should be able to bring their dog if the company re-started the company picnics it held for employees and their families in the past, you don’t need a “high horse” to realize they are resentful, regretful pieces of crap. On a positive note, they will leave this world without a trace in the not-too-distant future.
I dont even mind vaca/sick days if the company decides to offer as perks. I dont want govt mandating stuff to businesses.
Thanks; no regrets here either. It is tough but worth it!
I understand that but specifically described a scenario where 1) the nags weren’t working any longer than the mothers, and 2) the mothers were using time that was part of their compensation; there was no basis for complaints.
As for the school part, I understand that (and concur); I watch it firsthand drive Americans out of NJ (because they are sick of paying among the highest school taxes in the nation for someone else’s children). That is probably a holdover from the old WASP mindset that children were a positive thing (if not a necessity) for a culture and it was in the best interests of the country to provide an education for them at the public’s expense. Maybe the rationale is that someday one of those children will be changing our diapers when we’re old...
