https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherhood_penalty

progenity penalty is a societal issue, not issue between worker-corp. It is individual choice of a household to pro-create, and each mother's gender penalty is offset by father's gender penalty.

one may argue that America should provide more incentives to working families, but I see it as a society level issue, not the issue between a particular worker union and NYT.

I would love American society to unite once and for all, and ignore all artificial wedge lines created by MSM and uniparty (state, party, rural/urban, region, identity, ideology) and demand better laws that provide longer PFL and affordable childcare.

Curious what you mean by father's gender penalty as the link you provide states "Men's wages are either unaffected or even increase after having a child."

Doesn't sound like a penalty to me? also it assumes parents stay together if one offsets the other
