You touch upon an issue near to my heart but I am loathe to utter it: women in workforce is robbing our children and country of a future.

Disagree if you will.

[tayo42]

You probably get disagreement becasue your focused on one gender. No reason why we can't have stay at home dads.

Unless you think that men can't be good caretakers or something about it being a women's job, then good luck, your on your own lol

[drivebyhooting]

Men are pretty bad at breast feeding or carrying a pregnancy.

[tayo42]

You can formula feed or feed with pumped milk. Father's are capable of feeding children.

[drivebyhooting]

Formula is not as nutritious as human breast milk. Bottle feeding leads to long lasting anatomical changes. You can look at the research confirming these uncomfortable and inconvenient truths.

[bdhe]

What are the long lasting anatomical changes? Would love to learn more because my kids were bottle fed.

[drivebyhooting]

Narrowing of jaws, airway, and higher change of sleep apnea into adulthood. You can see the difference even as a lay person.

Whooaa! You're going to give people whiplash with how quickly you're changing what's being discussed. Men are perfectly capable of reading to kids! That you use things men are perfectly able to do, rather than the things they're not, as justification for why women should not be in the workplace makes me think you're not nearly so loathe to utter it as you say.

[drivebyhooting]

I was responding to someone claiming dads are just as good caretakers as moms. Clearly false.

[ribosometronome]

Relitigating what's always been said seem like a waste of everyone's time, especially when you're already going to ignore the context in which you're having a discussion.

[drivebyhooting]

I have no idea what you’re saying. You could interact with the claims made instead of making a meta point using corporate speak.

[Fraterkes]

You are being intellectually dishonest. What do carrying pregnancy and breastfeeding have to do with caring for a kindergarten age child?

[drivebyhooting]

1. Younger siblings 2. Spending enough time to teach reading and arithmetic BEFORE kindergarten.

So actually in this sub thread the relevant age is 0 to 5.

[charlie90]

women are better than men at housekeeping and raising children. why do women take this as an insult? its a compliment.

[drivebyhooting]

I never mentioned housekeeping.

[Fraterkes]

I take it as an insult as a guy! Theres nothing in my gender that precludes me from being as good at housekeeping (cleaning, cooking). Unscientific drivel!

[Fraterkes]

What do you mean? Fathers can teach their kids to read too right? In what sense are mothers specifically at fault?
