    It’s always fascinating when it’s proposed that those more closely associated with reproduction are framed as intrinsically holding greater social value than any other member of a society. For me it’s one of the clearest indicators of a system not worthy of engagement.

    My reading of the original post is that the flexibility afforded to parents by a workforce, in the rare instances they are, should not be gated behind their proximity to progeny.

    Work should be subservient to the needs of the society it is conducted within, to argue otherwise is abdicating one’s humanity.
