If you want to be paid for having sex, become a prostitute or get on welfare like everyone else. Putting the burden on companies for your whorish ways just isn't going to fly in America.
The notion that people and businesses don't benefit from paid maternity leave is complete nonsense.
Whether you like it or not, people are going to have kids and offering assistance to those that do benefits society in general.
Businesses are part of society, as are all the bitter mysognostics who inhabit Internet forums. If you want to reap the benefits of society then you are going to have put with things that don't necessarily benefit you directly.
Actually in Canada you get child tax benefits for having kids too

Yes, Canada is better for women and the poor, but you can't be lazy and collect, you have be actively searching for work, and this is strictly enforced by the social workers.
If you are employable, you have to turn in lists every month of the places you have applied and the social workers check them out before you get a check
Raising children is a big responsibility. If your career cannot wait a few years until they are older and can enter school... maybe the parents should rethink this wanting to have both.
It goes back to the purpose of a business. A typical business (maybe with the exception of goodwill) does not exist to merely employ people. It exists to earn profit.
If you want a career right now and children right now.... you either start your own business or find a good company that supports this. They are out there. Making the government force businesses to do this is not a good thing.
So your hatred of our society, like most foreigners, is just jealousy?
If a business benefits, then it will choose to have those plans which some do right now. Theres no need to mandate these plans with federal action. It will hurt the businesses that can not afford to provide those benefits. I've been a part of small start ups where if one person leaves for 3 months with full pay, the entire thing would collapse.
Saving your job for when you return is a business helping. Flat out paying someone to have a child is not a business's absolute responsibility.
If there is a high score table for the most sweeping statements ever made, yours has to be on it. A majority of 7-8 billion people hold the same opinion regarding America? That's amazing!

Like most foreigners that hate America.
Right
Because expecting other people to pay for your life choices isn't selfish in the slightest.
are you telling us, that womens with children don't paid taxes?
I would say it is a fair statement to say that most single women with children don't pay taxes.
Also, unless you pass a special tax that is only on women to pay for maternity leave it obviously has the effect of transferring money from men to women.
Why do you have such disdain for society?
AGAIN, what nations force businesses to pay for ANY maternaty/paternaty leave?
There you go again, another extreme...

I see no reason that I should be forced to monetarily support feminist ideology.
Did you mean non-sequitur? If you want to use words beyond the average person's vocabulary maybe you should learn to spell them first?
last I checked families (not women exclusively) benefit from the maternity benefit... making it a human issue not a feminine issue.
so how is this "Feminist Ideology"
and what specifically do you mean by "Feminist Ideology"?????
Apparently the reason they benefit society is because they encourage professional women to have children.
How is that not eugenics?
Feminist ideology. You know the ideology that pushed that women should be working like men therefore making paid maternity leave "necessary".
I have a disdain for feminists who expect me to pay for their ideology.
Women wanted to be independent. And now they are throwing a fit about the consequences.
