I consider it a misfortune that I was born in 1964, and not 2064, when such nonsense will hopefully be history. May #AnttiKaikkonen and his young family enjoy their special moments together. Finland will surely cope during his short absence. #PaternityLeave #sexism

This might be worthy of a Mastodon project.

I'm trying to figure out how to engage with media when our baby is born. On the one hand, I might have less time for media than ever before. On the other hand, I might have....more?

In theory, if I were feeding the baby at 3 in the morning, what is a movie I could be watching during that time? #movies #paternityleave #maternity #newborns #babies #childcare #parentMastodon

Being on #paternityleave allows me to follow the #usmidterm closely. The @CNN hosts do seem a bit tired 😴 Have everybody forgotten that results from larger cities come in last, and that they overwhelmingly vote #Democrat ? Or is the lead to big to be turned?

I think #Paternity leave is good, even important.
The problems here are strongly related to external factors, especially with #rolemodels in #society and, as a result, with a low willingness of #employers to cooperate.
If a #father goes to the boss and says that he wants to go on #paternityleave, then he regularly expect the hint to #dismissal.

"SINGAPORE: Nine Swedish multinational companies will double paid paternity leave to four weeks for employees in Singapore.

This will take effect from next year, according to a joint pledge announced on Thursday (Dec 9) by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Singapore (SwedCham)."

Our parliament is so broken that @jothims can't even introduce private member's bill to further #gender equality FOR 2 FULL YEARS. #PeriodLeave #PaternityLeave
