Indeed we must give kudos to the effort the UK govt make in giving mums times to spend with their family. However I am worried about the recent suggestion by a group of researchers to shorten that time to 9 months while fathers can have more time off. I mean why cant women still have their long periods off and men can have more paternity leave? <BR/>@Aloted...am seriously trying not to be dakudaji no more.

As I've come to understand she's been a part for Blogville for WAY longer than me but now I know a lil more about her. Will go and check out blog. I was reminded about several events in my own life reading this interview. I agree with every thing said. Compromise and sacrifice is so important indeed.<BR/><BR/>It's sad that even in this "developed" world, women's rights has still a long way to go. The country where I live is known for being one of the most equal, but women STILL don't get the same pay. But they do have rights for 1 year paid maternity leave - they even give paternity leave for 1 month to make sure daddies bond with their kids. I think that's great. Other countries have a much longer road ahead of them but it is important that we all promote and fight for equality.<BR/><BR/>I agree Parakeet, it's "total bollocks" that men find strong women intimidating. They're so behind for not understanding what a great asset that is. They're just going to have to grow up cuz there will be more and more of us independent, strong women!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Standtall for another great interview.Adaezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005977710433435845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743941223915628284.post-48230036911353652382009-04-02T10:26:00.000+01:002009-04-02T10:26:00.000+01:00FUUUURST!!!!!!!!will go back and read properlyFUUUURST!!!!!!!!<BR/>will go back and read properlyApinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533901147081186591noreply@blogger.com
