WOMAN: Businesses oppose paid maternity leave because you put money above women’s health! BUSINESSMAN: We care deeply about women! We’re against paid leave because it’s bad for women!Panel 2 The businessman has pulled a mother, holding a crying newborn, into the panel. WOMAN: Women need time off to recover after giving birth. BUSINESSMAN: Nonsense! Just look at Tiana here… She can’t wait to get back to work. It’s patronizing of you to say otherwise! TIANA: So tired….Panel 3 BUSINESSMAN: Paid maternity leave makes hiring women more expensive – and that means companies will discriminate against hiring them! Have a heart!Panel 4 The businessman violently shoves Tiana off-panel. WOMAN: So we’ll give paid leave to new mothers AND new fathers! BUSINESSMAN: But that would cost MONEY! -- source link
