"I want all the perks of maternity leave — without having any kids"

New_User1984 · 2018-02-04T16:45:59+00:00

Instead on arguing for a 32 hour work week, she wants a paid sabatical for women.

I say bring it. This will make all women unemployable.

foolishghost · 2018-02-04T16:30:36+00:00

Of course you do. Your damp snatch entitles you to everything.

“... to a lesser degree, men...” Why? What makes men get less than what you think you deserve?

2018-02-04T16:38:06+00:00

The sense of entitlement is real....

baggyrabbit · 2018-02-04T21:53:54+00:00

she needed a break of her own

Maternity/paternity leave isn't just a random break for "me time". It's to look after a screaming bundle of human.

This woman needs a reality check.

DangZagnut · 2018-02-04T17:18:54+00:00

So a check for child support without children?

Bilbo_T_Baggins_OMG · 2018-02-04T21:09:24+00:00

38 and has no children. lol!

2018-02-04T21:06:35+00:00

I want all the perks of a billionaire's mistress without actually being a girl or having sex.

I enjoyed the same unspoken expectation shared among my fellow Gen-Xers: If you poured your heart and soul into your career, you would eventually get to a director level and have the flexibility, paycheck and assistants beneath you to begin to create a work-life balance.

She wants to be a queen and have underlings men and women slave to give her the easy life.

Why don't they just cut the bullshit and admit what they want deep down in their dark empty hearts: they want to stay home. They want to be a full time housewife, except with big daddy government bringing home the bacon.

No sooner do they flounce their way into the job market, they turn around and start contriving ever-more ridiculous excuses to remain in the comfort of their own homes. Period leave, maternity leave, stress leave, menopause leave, flex-time, etc etc.

Seriously, they've been part of the labour force for what, 70 years at this point? Try encoding the brutal daily grind of work into your very DNA like men have for the last 50,000, and then come to me with your "burnout".

More entitlement from a woman who wants to benefits without deserving them

Women are bad at putting ourselves first.

That’s some comedy gold right there.

manzone22 · 2018-02-04T22:17:42+00:00

I heard one women say that menopause should be treated the same as maternity leave lol

2018-02-04T23:22:49+00:00

Do not hire women

2018-02-05T00:18:01+00:00

i'm already a fat piece of shit, i should have more time to sit on my ass. that is all this means.

2018-02-05T00:21:20+00:00

lol. This is exactly why there is an earnings gap. Notice I did not say pay gap.

Million-Suns · 2018-02-05T00:26:42+00:00

You know, I need a maternity leave!” I told one of my pregnant friends. She laughed, and we spent the afternoon plotting my escape from my 10-hour days, fake baby bump and all.

They spent an entire afternoon of work doing everything but work and still got paid for that I suppose...

tw-1234a · 2018-02-04T18:45:41+00:00

How many "children " and how often? I imagine she could take 18 months per "child" and be ready for the next in...20 minutes?

Goddamnpanda · 2018-02-05T00:07:47+00:00

When do I get menternity leave?

Cuck-WTF · 2018-02-04T21:19:29+00:00

TL;DR's commentary on this.

"Parental leave for everyone... even for minors but not for men. At long the government and the employers pay, no problem" - will say a feminist soon.

grewapair · 2018-02-05T02:18:51+00:00

Looking like you're pregnant doesn't count.

2018-02-05T01:20:29+00:00

Fucking ugly ass chin

2018-02-05T03:40:38+00:00

the increasing levels of absurdity shouldn't shock me but it does. just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

starkfuture · 2018-02-05T07:07:36+00:00

I took a 8 month time off from work to to care for my mom when she had a stroke, but it was technically an unpaid sabbatical.

It never crossed my mind to demand someone to pay for my problems! Women these days!

CrypticG · 2018-02-05T07:39:47+00:00

She knows that she is free to just... quit her job, right?

Like if you need me time you can stop buying expensive shoes and pedicures for like 2 months and just take some time off between job hopping. This is some advanced stupidity and entitlement.

yurimodin · 2018-02-05T08:25:53+00:00

Tbh I get tired of constantly picking up the slack at work for ppl constantly leaving early or multiple times a day for their kids stuff

2018-02-05T16:31:44+00:00

Meghann Foye, 38, was jealous of co-workers clocking out for maternity leave

I suspect it's not just maternity leave that she is jealous of. At a post-wall 38, this heifer will have a tough time getting knocked up.

feel envious when parents on staff left the office at 6 p.m. to tend to their children, while it was assumed co-workers without kids would stay behind to pick up the slack.

Men. You mean the men stay behind to pick up the slack. The wives are at home with the kids, while they work late.

If you poured your heart and soul into your career, you would eventually get to a director level and have the flexibility, paycheck and assistants beneath you to begin to create a work-life balance.

Contrary to what she saw on "Sex with the City", no, those people usually have to work harder. They get assistants to help, because they have to work harder and stay longer. Also, you will not get your assistant to change your babies diapers or grab your dry-cleaning.

I saw that spending three months detached from their desks made them much more sure of themselves.

Yup, having a kid means at least 18 years of guaranteed income. Removing the sword of Damocles from over anyone's head would do wonders for their confidence.

Bottom line: Women are bad at putting ourselves first.

Everyone puts women first. It's just that they might not feel as though they are put first, because despite all the advantages they are given, they still fail.

As for me, I did eventually give notice at my job and take a “meternity” of my own.

Well good for them (the company). She was probably a mediocre editor anyway. She couldn't even form a proper sentence to say that she took a "meternity".
