It’s now misogynistic and repulsive to self-determination to and social equity to let women have maternity leave and spend time with their children?

You American tech bros are absolute ghouls.

Ohhh, you thought our objection to your regressive nonsense was an objection to parental leave? That's... no.

What was I supposed to think you were objecting to besides what I wrote?

So you admit that you are just making things up to be angry about.

Why would you assume that someone who specifically mentioned "self-determination, social equity, liberty, and nonaggression" was advocating for "keeping women chained to their desks and away from children" through a lack of parental leave?

If you don't want to keep women chained to their desks and away from children, then what's the problem?

Because of the clear regressive biases evident in your comments: not once in your little diatribe nor the tedious back and forths since then have you mentioned general paid time off, bereavement leave, or even paternity leave. I don't want fathers to be chained to their desk and away from their children either, hence my use of "parental leave", but you seem only concerned about mothers being around their children. Isn't that interesting? That coupled with your "the glorification of every other sexual special interest except the productive one", spreading the bigoted lie that non-straight people are unproductive to society and there's little ambiguity on what you think women's role in society is.
