| 1 | Females get work time off for being pregnant. What are your thoughts on this?Most moral philosophies do. | /r/MensRights | 09/04/11 07:19 PM |
| 0 | Females get work time off for being pregnant. What are your thoughts on this?The brand of utilitarianism advanced by John Stuart Mill is exactly what Rawls, and to cite another one, Amartya Sen, utterly destroy, and you probably misunderstand them because they are not advancing complete equality. Utilitarianism is not the perfect system of ethics, and if you want a quick summary of it's flaws and shortcomings, read a manual of political philosophy by Will Kymlicka. Or you could just ignore everything and choose whatever author best fits the view of a conservative, which … | /r/MensRights | 09/04/11 05:47 AM |
| 0 | Females get work time off for being pregnant. What are your thoughts on this?I'm not selling anything, go read a book.

You are supporting a society that does not provide equal opportunity, and this is very hard to defend in a serious discussion. | /r/MensRights | 09/04/11 02:00 AM |
| 1 | Females get work time off for being pregnant. What are your thoughts on this?That women get time off for being pregnant, and maternity leave, is a sign that society regards that mothers have a greater responsibility, and thus a greater burden, with regards to parenthood. If you subscribe to any set of egalitarian ethics, this is a problem. If you think one should not be punished due to the genetic lottery, you would try to make it so society did not reflect genetic differences. Such a society would say that all stages of parenthood are to be shared by both parents. So ev… | /r/MensRights | 08/04/11 10:23 PM |
