A think tank in France has urged the government to force dads to take paternity leave even if they don’t want to. It’s all in the name of equality in the workplace.

The economic think-tank OFCE proposed the changes in a report as a solution to ongoing problem of inequality between men and women when it comes to careers. […]

That’s stupid for many reasons. Such a practice will reduce production and efficiency in the workplace. Some couples are better off spending the work day apart for a few hours.
The men will feel that they have no say in how they spend their workday.

Any father who has been trained by Nipple Nazis at the hospital, knows that his place is home.

In order for the bill to be ‘Bipartisan’ shouldn’t women be forced to change flat tires and do routine home repairs, etc. ?????

German men are forced to urinate sitting down, why shouldn’t French men be forced to take paternity leave?

France is in a battle with the UK to see which country destroys itself first, with total PCism.

A male muslim invader in France could be on permanent paternity leave as they could have 4 wives and keep one preggers all the time and one keep plopping out one state funded Jihadi every 3-4 months....

The same people who also banned paternity testing for the “sake of the tranquility of the home”.

pretty soon here in the USA men will be able to ‘self-identify’ as a ‘pregnant mother’ in order to get maternity leave-

“encouraging men to do more household and child-rearing work”

Good plan! Equitable.
Lets also force women to do more auto maintenance and home remodeling work. Next Saturday I will do the dishes and she can change the oil in the car.... no? But equality!

A friend suggested that France would be a good place if they didn’t drink a liter of wine at lunch every day.
