I cannot believe this shit is real. Does /pol/ think women are entitled to a MEternity leave?
Article text to follow.
>>72380482
I think she forgot to wear her glasses.
>>72380482
Meghann Foye, 38, was jealous of co-workers clocking out for maternity leave, and decided she needed a break of her own. Here, the author of the novel “Meternity” (Mira, out now), tells The Post’sAnna Davieswhy she believes every woman deserves mandated “me time.”
I was 31 years old in 2009, and I loved my career. As an editor at a popular magazine, I got to work on big stories, attend cool events, and meet famous celebs all the time.
And yet, after 10 years of working in a job where I was always on deadline, I couldn’t help but 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.
“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.
Of course, that didn’t happen. But the more I thought about it, the more I came to believe in the value of a “meternity” leave — which is, to me, a sabbatical-like break that allows women and, to a lesser degree, men to shift their focus to the part of their lives that doesn’t revolve around their jobs.
Sounds like she's more deserving of eternity leave.
What do women who have kids and have taken maternity leave think of this stuff
>>72380482
Of course she's fat.

>i want to be paid and not have to do a lick of work
and this is why women are a joke in society
Maternity leave exist so we can have a higher population. This whale dosen't put new life into the world. Fuck her.
>>72380682
>what are holidays
If she wants maternity leave so badly she shouldve reflected on her life 10 years ago and decided to settle down and have children
>>72380682
For women who follow a “traditional” path, this pause often naturally comes in your late 20s or early 30s, when a wedding, pregnancy and babies means that your personal life takes center stage. But for those who end up on the “other” path, that socially mandated time and space for self-reflection may never come.
When I graduated from college in the early 2000s, 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. Then the 2008 recession hit, and people were lucky to have jobs at all. Assistants and perks disappeared across industries, and I felt like the cultural expectation was that we should now be tethered to our desks and our smartphones.
It seemed that parenthood was the only path that provided a modicum of flexibility. There’s something about saying “I need to go pick up my child” as a reason to leave the office on time that has far more gravitas than, say, “My best friend just got ghosted by her OkCupid date and needs a margarita” — but both sides are valid.
And as I watched my friends take their real maternity leaves, I saw that spending three months detached from their desks made them much more sure of themselves. One friend made the decision to leave her corporate career to create her own business; another decided to switch industries. From the outside, it seemed like those few weeks of them shifting their focus to something other than their jobs gave them a whole new lens through which to see their lives.
>>72380482
Do people not read the actual article anymore?
She makes some really great points about how unfair it is that people with children get a set schedule and get to leave exactly at certain times, while it is unwritten that people without children should pick up the slack.
>>72380682
Sounds like she wants a vacation. After ten years of banking days, she could afford to take a while off, so she should.
Unless, you know, she didn't bank them and used them as soon as she got them. Man, that would be embarrassing.
>>72380682
>im a hard worker
>we spent the afternoon plotting my escape from my 10-hour days, fake baby bump and all
>>72380988
As for me, I did eventually give notice at my job and take a “meternity” of my own. I may not have been changing diapers, but I grappled with self-doubt for the year and a half that I spent away from the corporate world. And I grieved the loss of my dad, who had just died after a long illness. But a “meternity” done right should be challenging. It should be about digging into your whole life and emerging from it more confident in who you are.
It also gave me the opportunity to help someone achieve their “meternity” dreams — even if that person was a fictional character. My first novel, “Meternity,” was just released, and is about a woman who fakes a pregnancy and discovers some hard truths about what it’s really like to “have it all.”
Ultimately, what I learned from my own “meternity” leave is that any pressure I felt to stay late at the office wasn’t coming from the parents on staff. It was coming from myself. Coming back to a new position, I realized I didn’t need an “excuse” to leave on time. And that’s what I would love the take-away for my book to be: Work-life balance is tough for everyone, and it happens most when parents and nonparents support and don’t judge each other.
I want kids in the future, and I might still take a traditional maternity leave. I might not. But either way, I’m happy my “meternity” taught me to live on my own terms and advocate what works for me.

Some jobs don't allow you to bank vacation days. They will wipe them away at the end of each year if you don't use them.
I know this, because it's what happens at my workplace. It's shitty as fuck and I eagerly await the day something better opens up.
>>72380482
oh look another fat entitled 'working' woman whose uterus and eggs are all dried up so now she has to lash out at women who fulfill their biological purpose. Anyone whose ever been home with a new mother on maternity leave knows that it's just a 100% fucking party and vacation. It's not like they bleed from their torn apart vagina the whole fucking time while also getting barely any sleep for weeks on end. She can have a Meternity leave when men get a menternity leave

>>72380482
What a dumb bitch, as if maternity leave is "me time" Anyone who has had a child knows how disgustingly tiring and frustrating it is to look after them when they are newborns.
Just another fat entitled heffer looking for another holiday. Probably the type of bitch who calls in sick when she is having her period.
CUNT
It is fiction dumbass. She clearly states she didn't really do it. Instead she wrote a dumb novel.
No employer would do this.
>>72381000
If it's closing time then fucking leave. If you aren't meeting your deadlines then you have a time management/expectations management issue. You wanted to work in a man's world lady guess what, you don't get maternity leave.
>>72381000
cool, meanwhile men work twice as hard and never get a day off.

Completely unrelated concept being used as a stepping stone to allow this woman to have months of paid leave because she feels like she deserves it. Any worker who consistently left work early with their job undone would be let go because they are an unreliable worker. Any company that chose not to do so would be overtaken by companies filled with reliable workers.

I own a couple of small business. I'm not rich, but I am well off.
And I have purged literally ALL women, niggers, desert people of all kinds, and people with any manner of brown skin from my ranks.
My business ONLY employs white European descended males, white male slavs, white male east asians (Japan, SKorea, China), and Vietnamese men.
Each company has two receptionists. They are women, hot as fuck, and must be younger than 23. I fire them around their 24th birthday for someone younger and hotter. They should be married by then anyways, not at the fucking club blowing lines and getting railed by coons.
So white men, what should you learn from me? Start your own business and start fucking shoah'ing women from employment. If you get big enough to attract the gov't or SJW crowd, you'll have enough money to buy politicians and start changing the laws back in our favor.
Or you could just continue to be a stupid, fat, useless, NEET who will meet the rope on The Day of the Rope (coming soon to an area near you!)

It never occurred to self-entitled cunt that this is what men have felt for a long time. Of course men now are entitled to paternity leave but that's only a fraction of what women get. Fuck her. I'm actually going to send this to women I know who've had kids and see what they say.

>>72381947
And stay under 50 employees. Many of these government mandated benefits only apply to businesses over that size. If you're growing larger, find a way to split the company into multiple legal entities separate from each other so you stay under the fifty employee limit. If that's not possible, it's time to sell the business and start a new one from scratch.

Bitch needs to save up her PTO instead of bitching about being a loveless, childless failure. Maybe on her sex tour of self reflection in the Caribbean she can find some dumb Rasta who wants a US Citizenship in exchange for having to tolerate being with her long enough to give her a child.
Also, if 10 hour days of sitting on your ass reading shitty feminist drivel and correcting spelling mistakes is too much she should just transfer to HR, at least there you can just hit deny on every request until you feel better.

Most professional jobs are salaries, not hourly wages.
Secondly, actual professional jobs don't have a written work schedule.
I think she kind of has a point.
In the end women on maternity leave get rewarded by the employer for hurting the employer.
It's like smoke breaks.
Why should somebody who doesn't smoke get punished by not being able to have little breaks here and there?

This is what's wrong with american women. When I was a boss I rarely hired women because:
>they call out more than men
>they create problems and drama in the work place
>they are always the first to sue or try to push a sexual harassment charge over bullshit
>they are lazy in general (not all but most of them)
>they show up late to work often
>they take maternity leave
>they get emotional and cry over everything
>they can't lift as much as a man
Honestly they are a pain in the ass in most circumstances. American women are so entitled it's out of control, lest we forget the 1950s housewife that took care of the family and didn't have to shit up the workplace and scream for equality CONSTANTLY even though they are currently equal to men for what they are worth. There's a reason they get paid less than men, and that's because they aren't worth as much.

She wants the benefit of anothers situation without the circumstance that warrants it. You want the time off given to women whom have children to look after? Have some kids. You don't want kids? Then you don't need time off as they do, do you?
Oh, you want some me time? Then use your vacation days.
Most mothers aren't going home to sip mimosas and have me time, they're taking time off of their jobs work to go home to a different type of work.
>>72383001
A cashier isn't professional employment.
You seem to think anyone who has a job works in a professional setting. They don't, hence the necessary term "professional", as it specifically designates a higher level of employment.
>>72381394
>confirmed for having never worked a real job in his life
When women get knocked up and leave all the men left in the office now have to do their work in addition to their own.
Generally, this isn't much, since most women don't actually do shit and just exist to suck up benefits and keep the Federal Jew out of your ass with bullshit "discrimination" lawsuits, but when 30% of your workforce are preparing to shit out Jamal's child consistently, every year, you don't get the option to Union the fuck out and just go home.

Yah thats certainly true. Western women are so used to being special that they expect it everywhere they go. Even in the work place where they are supposed to be equal. I have heard my own family members say things like, oh i dont do that I make the men do that part of the job; its too dirty and the box is too heavy. In the job description it clearly said you had to be able to lift 40 pounds, if anything thats workplace discrimination.
>>72382892
Maternity leave is a way so that having children to benefit a society as a whole doesn't negatively impact someone's career. It doesn't make sense if people who are not having children to benefit society get maternity leave.
>>72384211
Also Maternity leave isn't "me" time. It's literally spending the entire day catering and monitors an infant.
What this lazy bitch is looking for is vacation time.
>>72382729
This. I work from home and play dota half the time. I get my work done every day by 2pm normally. Get a 75k salary, and I am contracted on a yearly basis so I can also write stuff off.

THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING WOMEN TO THE WORKFORCE FEMINISM YOU WERE ALWAYS A FORCE FOR GOOD AND NOT JUST FROM THE 3RD WAVE AND FOWARD
HERE WOMAN LET ME PAY FOR YOUR VACATION AND DO YOUR SHARE OF WORK
Does she think that the time women take off after having a kid is all getting up at 10 am, having brunch and a mimosa, then reading a book and having an afternoon nap? The whole "self reflection" thing is bullshit because it doesn't happen. You've got a little you that can't do anything for itself so you have to take care of its every need 24/7. New parents don't even get any sleep. I've heard people coming off of maternity leave saying that they're glad to be back at work.
>>72380482
This is just the white woman's version of gibs me dat. They really are as bad as niggers.

What other things are you going to focus on, you fat cunt? Let's just admit that women don't like work and don't want to work jobs at all.
Every woman I've ever known complains constantly about having to do the easiest tasks at work. Bitch, moan and complain about work for hours per day. Just stop working and let's go back to the natural order.
We have 100,000 years of men working and women having children. Feminism will not change that.

This. Is this grown woman honestly so blind to the world that she thinks having a newborn is, in any way, "me" time? The new moms didn't change jobs after maternity leave because they found themselves. They chose new careers that better facilitated being a parent.
This fat cunt thinks having a baby is like adopting a puppy. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

What difference does that make to the business? Either you are doing work for the business or you're not. She framed it in a retarded way but when it comes down to it, the business cares about how much you can contribute to them making a profit. Raising a kid is outside of their scope.
>>72381000

Almost certainly, yes. Here in the USA if you're a minority and are denied government services they can expect the media to step in, but if you're a whitey then they know no body will care. It's all about what will get attention. Police abuse whites incredibly too for that matter, but that's not a juicy story that will start protests and bring more media coverage and viewership.
>>72380682
fucking lol
>>72380482
>I cannot believe this shit is real. Does /pol/ think women are entitled to a MEternity leave?
I think it went way over your head my friend.....the author was obviously implying that a MEternity leave would be genderless: men and women could enjoy a mandated time away from work to further inter-personal relations.
>we work too hard/long for personal relations
>there's nothing wrong with that idea
>>72380482
>thinks maternity leave is just a vacation
Yeah raising a kid is such a cool vacation.
>>72382187
You are a fucking retard. I'm a father and raising a kid is hard as fuck. And even when it's not hard, it demands your attention 100% of the time because babies are literally getting themselves into death trap situations at almost all times.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Their mothers were narcissistic drug addicts and they're narcissists.
>>72381000
Yeah because it's so easy taking care of kids you fucking retard.
>>72389915
You're simply fighting for mandatory paid vacation time.
Otherwise you're equating raising a child with having a vacation, which makes you an imbecile.
>>72382892
As long as you are polite about it most bosses will give you a short break akin to a smoke break
That being said, most jobs aren't 100% busy for 8 hours straight so you probably don't need one
And to drive the point home, if you're getting all snippy about the fairness of people stepping outside to burn away their money on an addictive substance that destroys their health, most coworkers will come to hate you
>>72380482
Remember, this is the kike woman mentality we are up against....
>>72380482
this cunt needs a reality check
She makes a good point. Why should the business be penalized in the first place because its workers are having kids? There shouldn't be maternity leave - at least not paid.
>I want disability leave without losing my arm
>>72389915
>to a lesser extent men
nah m8 all those male tradesman that keep her city running dont need breaks, do you have any clue how misogynist it would be if her mechanic was on Meternity leave? What if her buildings electrician was taking a sabbatical to find himself? the Misogyny i literally cant even.
>>72380482
>maternity leave is a holiday
literally retarded fat pig... obviously she has never looked after a baby before... and never will
>>72390574
Because people won't want to have children then
The first couple weeks of having a newborn is crucial and very busy. Taking away their pay would be a huge deterrent from having a baby
>>72381117
because they won't touch you with a laser pointer?
>>72390835
That's a good thing. Fewer poors would have children, which means fewer gibsmedats.
>>72380988
>picking up your kid = getting drunk with my fellow spinster
This is why those of us with kids look at those without like they are idiotic children
>>72380482
People know that they're in a culture of collapse. They're trying to take whatever they can get.
It's the white equivalent of black store looting. Blacks loot stores for material goods, whites try to loot their system for benefits and perks.
>>72380701
Jesus that was amazing
She ha a point. But I would say that people who have kids have their own hell.
Fuck, the first year after having a kid (i'm male) , going to work was my resting time.
I'd rather have no vacation than have kids.
>>72390983
>having a kid when you're too poor to afford childcare = comforting a friend in need
See, I can frame things too.
>>7239118
"amazingly stupid" right?

Sorry but people that perpetuate the human race are needed.
>>72380701
>>72391418
this, exactly this, and more.
lifelong responsibility. and basically the end of your life as you know it.
True... having a kid you have more perks jobwise(often, not always) but it is waaaaaaay not worth it.

When the opening line proves my point, the rest of the explanation is not necessarily needed. Tldr, she's a child.

I want that :(
Too bad I have no fucking sense of humor and my responses typically kill the thread
>>72390974
Most of the people in the workforce having maternity leave are whites, most of the people in the workforce are whites. You're literally saying whites should stop having kids. Fuck off kike.
>>72392597
Hey, that's my thing!
>>72380682
There was also a response by a man on the page the article continues on who thinks this bullshit is utterly stupid.
I know as I bought a copy of that newspaper.
>>72392659
What's with all this "white's need to breed to beat other skin colors" stupidity.
Honestly.
Computers are going to take over in under 50 years. Who the fuck wants to ruin their life having kids for a racist white trashy cause?
>>72388295
>all three of them
Look, I've seen people around here trying to make that face a meme and I think it's bullshit.
The reason you see this expression, I think is because people trying to use these misandrist's faces for comedic purposes of course try to capture their faces with the most unpleasant expressions on them.
It is entirely possible these people have neutral resting expressions and so this is not as reliable a signal as trouble glasses and bright hair dye and should not be relied on.

Fixed for real life
>>72381000
But the solution is to give EVERYONE a massive break? That's fucking stupid. If anything, you should fighting to get rid of maternity leave, not expand it.
Why the fuck should a business pay for your "self actualization"?
>>72380482
fire up that one meme with the 2 buttons
button 1
>women want equality
button 2

>>72380682
>>72380482
If I told my boss' (yes plural because I work three jobs) that I needed to not work for nine months to three years because I need some "me-time"... I wouldn't have a job anymore.
It's funny how the fat as fuck office cunt is the most self-entitled. Something doesn't add up here, she's sssooooo productive though.
The look on her face in OP's pic is so telling, like we all encounter this in our daily lives here in America at least, the super-fat, super-entitled, super-lazy office cunt. Who's only fat because they're eating more of their fair share in the first place while doing less, but insisting how productive and industrious they are.
Fucking women.

>spent the afternoon fucking about instead of working
many jobs give a sabbatical break if you have worked there for several years so you can do something, but they expect it to be about improving yourself, not just fucking about buying shoes and drinking lattes.
also, the point of maternity leave isn't to focus on yourself. it is to recover from pregnancy, feed your baby so it doesn't die and focus on the baby rather than hand it off to some expensive service. you can focus on the baby, because if you came back to work, you'd be useless as your natural instinct to mother your child would overrule anything else.
>>72381947
But mah anon, what kind of business? I don't have any particular expertise in most markets, how am I to start a business in any of them?
what is /pol/ so butthurt about. these feminist cunts will die alone with no children to continue their line. the problem literally solves itself. the strong women will have children who will carry on threir strength and values.
natural selection is a wonderful thing.
>>72395480
yeah but by the time that happens I will already be a penniless geezer
>>72380482
Fine, but you're getting paid 77 cents on the dollar. Equal pay for equal work. Maternity leave means that you're not doing equal work.
>>72380682

Why does everyone think feminism brought women to work? Women didn't GET to work alongside men. They HAD to. It is harder and harder to fund a family in America on one income. If American wages weren't stagnant and came in line with the rising cost of living, mothers would abandon the workplace and don aprons in droves.

A fucking vending company.
I made 45k filling goddammit snack machines, and if I stayed it would be over 60k now.
I took the entire month of February off this year at my current job.

You know what's fucking hilarious? Women wanted this, they wanted freedom, they wanted to be breadwinners, they wanted to go out in the "real world." But now they've seen it, and now they want to be "treated the same" but still be able to quit when stuff gets a little too hard. They want all the privileges of being a woman in the 1960's without any of the work. They don't want to work, they don't want have to do hard work, they want to be pampered and preened and not do anything, but they also want to be strong and independent and be patted on the head and given an award for trying.
>>72397524

>Of course, that didn’t happen.
