The pay gap... again.

The whole liberal worldview will collapse because in order for people to reject feminism, they need to reject it's principles, which are common with liberalism.

Here's a bit of equality for you guys.
Between Stace and I, as far as hours worked vs actual pay, she comes out the winner.
I'm not saying I'm any sort of a slacker, I own a company and the Government loves small-medium businesses, tax-wise.
Last financial year I bought home just under NZ$82,000, before tax, after tax, that fell to $59,270.
Stace earned NZ$77,000, but after tax, she got $67,302.
She has done some BIG hours too, but the up-shot of it all, is that PAYE as opposed to company taxation is rediculous.
I hope the Wimmins Affairs department and the Wimmins Refuge are apeased by my contributions to thier useless Ivory Towers.

we are going to be paying for women to have up to six months paid leave

We're way "ahead" of you over here, it's already six months paid, with the option of an additional six months unpaid, they're going for a full year paid the last time I heard.

The thing is, women always complain about job opportunities, claiming employers won't employ them because of possible maternity pay. Little do the people in charge realise, that if they gave men exactly the same paid time off after having a child, as a woman gets, it would completely even the playing field for women in the workplace, because it will be just as risky to employ a man than a woman, in fact more so, since men can have children until they perish.

This seems to be exactly the point. What about these businesses who are just surviving? They are faced with the choice of being accused of discriminating or going under because they're paying for a woman to not come to work.

Give men equal paternity leave, or stop complaining.
