As a father, I really can't understand how every article about this topic talks about as if fathers and mothers are just interchangeable. We are not.
Mothers carry their child for ~9 months, they give birth to that child. The bond between a mother and her freshly born child is bigger than that of the father.
Of course fathers are very important too, and yes fathers should spend more Time with their children in general.
But it's Just crazy to ask mothers to get back to work as soon as possible. Many mothers want to Work part Time, because they want to spend more time with their children. The issue is, that care work is not paid or valued nearly the same as work for money.
Also if you're feeding your young child like you are supposed to, the father simply can't feed the child, because we don't give milk.
Nearly all articles about this topic care only for how to get women back to Work instead of what's best for society and for families.
If that would be the Focus, we would talk way more about how to integrate children into the work Life and less on how to grow GDP.
It's not that hard to understand. The Overton window has been successfully manipulated by butt hurt commies at universities (that no longer call themselves commies, they call themselves * studies usually and converted from economic class to a fractured mix of dichotomies based on whatever they think they can exploit at the time). This means truly bonkers nonsense permeates university and society. At the same time we neutered the antitrust law won out of the last billionaire baron build up in the name of the free market (while ignoring that the natural outcome of the free market is monopoly and we need antitrust to break up market power abusers). So in that context we have insane people and billionaires (who also may be insane) pushing their own interests an the average to above average segment of society that just wants to have their 2-3 kids and be comfortable get steamrolled.
