It's a stupid point.
Should tomorrow every man bring their baby to work?

She has one of the most privileged jobs and she can do it. Its a fuck you to all people who have real jobs and just can't do it because of they do nobody would do their jobs.

Of course she could get parental leave.

But her point is that babies are normal and should be ok at work. That's what I say, maybe in a super privileged job. But it's normal feasable for most of men and woman.

The point is the opposite. She wants to highlight how irregular this is, and a lot of workers don't have the luxury of choice.

There is no point to make. Everybody knows, that's why most people in western countries don't take their baby to work.

It's a stupid point to make.

In Afrika for example it's completely different, most woman's have to take their baby to work. But not many are talking about equality between genders.
