"Some men" should shove a rotisserie chicken out of their urethra then return to work the next day. Really show the ladies how it's done.

Fucking idiots.

Yeah Japan doesn't have a very good track record on issues of Gender Equality. Or Race. Or National Origin.

They have a Deputy Mayor who has a direct line of contact with her, though, so there is literally no reason for concerns.

Nothing to do with it i think. this is generally how it goes over there for both men and women.

Could be, but I dont think men in elected positions frequently take parental leave

DacoTaco@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 32d (2 replies)

Men cant take parental leave afaik. Hell, here men would only get a week until recently

🧑🏻‍💼 "We have a massive birth rate crisis we need to fix!"

🤰🏻 "I'm going to take maternity leave for my child"

🧑🏻‍💼 "NNOOOOOoooOOOooOoOooOooooo you need to work through childbirth!"

It's funny because while this is Japan one can apply it to a number of countries.

Those "men" are weak and pathetic. A true man takes time off to take care of their family.

…and it’s only 4 months leave!

Is there any reason to wonder why more people choose their careers over having kids!

This is why they have things called “administrations”
