Most of europe has laws mandating a minimum number of vacation days, some have +3 / +5 extra if you have children.
Almost every country (I lived in) has +5 days sick leave for people with kids (added to the base mandated for everyone)
In germany you can deduct various child related expenses from your taxes (though you don’t have those expenses at all if you do not have children). The list goes on…
In the end these are the benefits mandated by the governments. On top of that, some companies add extra benefits (and this is the part, that does not make sense to me and feels like the real discrimination that shouldn’t be there)
We’re agreed on having a good baseline set by government.
Don’t know why some companies adding other benefits “feels like the real discrimination that shouldn’t be there”, sounds like advocating for a dictatorship of employment law, as I say before a command and control system.
I probably did a better job explaining my position in the response here
