This is not true a women, if they choose to can take off work 2 weeks before the baby is due and would be able to be back at work 6 weeks later or earlier. Physicaly they would be capable. Now what they need is a man to take Paternaty leave for 6 months as EI allows and then be a stay at home dad. But wait stay at home dad isn't a career choice men are allowed to have becauase then they would be lazy and unsuccessful and therefore unalbe to find a wife.
See menanism hasn't come far enough yet for feminism to be fully successful. It is not socially exceptable for men to be stay at home dads. Just look at all of the posts on the thread the underlying assumption is that the women must raise the child.
So I would tell the feminist in this article to suck it up and make a choice just like everyone else being a women doesn't make you special. If you want a career have it if you want to be a stay at home mom do it. If you want both find a balance that you can live with and don't complain that you have choice.
