Well we also don't get a lot of kids in Denmark, in spite of very generous parental benefits. But regardless, this news story is crazy dystopian.

Women often have to trade career progression for motherhood. That's a big ask considering the decades we've spent letting neoliberals devalue motherhood and labour in and out of the home.

~20 years ago my wife was mocked at university for wanting to have children. It hasn't improved much since.
