"A common refrain about women is that they are just like children and should be treated as such. One easy way to prove this about any given female is to compare their political views and desires to a child's. Doing so will reveal striking similarities. They are usually wildly naive and idealistic, devoid of any logic or consideration for logistical challenges, such as "everyone should be equal and treated the same" or "if everyone had more money, then X would be better."
First, the argument thst all women think like children is inaccurate. Just look at some of the fine female minds on the right. Brigitte Gabriel, Candace Owens etc.
Having said that, I listened to a conversation on a radio station between a man and woman on the subject of paid maternity leave. I had never listened to these two co-hosts so I was trying to figure out what their positions were and here is how it went: it was obvious they were friends. Man: I believe in some sort of support for women workers who have just had a child, but for a small business owner such as myself, how would that work in terms of my bottom line?
Woman: well as a new mother that is not my concern or my problem. You would just have to build my needs into your business model.
Wow. Totally child-like. But this is the result of the death of logic in educational systems. I believe logic can be taught. Just as I believe potential lawmakers reveal very early their general intelligence level and whether or not they process problems with logic.

Candace Owens is a fake. Take a look at her history and the crazy doxxing website "SocialAutopsy.com" that she used to run. Can you imagine that the site was still active, while she was a "republican" and being interviewed by Alex Jones? Don't fool yourself.

Also, this is also social manipulation by TPTB. The big huge companies can already afford to do this but many don't, giving the women the issue to bitch about. They know the smaller companies can't afford it so making it a law forces small businesses to comply hurting them even leading to closures and buy outs. They can create larger monopolies by using government as a tool to hurt smaller competitors. Another attack on the middle class, bottom up top down.
