i don't understand why they want all adult females to get a six month break like women do after having a baby...wtf do they need a 6 month break for? the whole point of maternity leave is so the mother can recoupporate and take care of the newborn child and adjust to having a child in their lifen and I know very few people who get 6 mos for maternity. Wtf is the point of a six month break for all women? I mean it just doesn't make sense...just all women? why not men too. I just don't understand the argument behind that idea. Maybe I'm just not understanding what they are saying but to me this point weakens the entire argument of the article. I don't feel bad for people who don't want kids. If they don't want kids I'd rather them not bring another child into the world but I don't think they should get a six month break for no reason.
Because the whole point of this article is that on top of the fact that individual's who choose to stay childfree are ridiculed and judged for their choice, there are also all of the added bonuses given to people who have children like Family Day, and tax breaks and of course paid maternal and paternal leave, none of which childfree individuals are entitled to. So she is saying if society has said it's o.k. to reward individuals who choose to reproduce, then there should be reward's for choosing not to reproduce for all the reason's and then some, mentioned in the article.
