Even if we pretend that women rights are the only issue at stake here (which it isn't! Fathers *deserve* time with their children too), this is *still* anti-feminist. This literally sends the message that "yes, raising a kid is mostly the mom's job, that's why she gets leave and the dad doesn't :D"

Apart from the obvious negative implications for public health, I'm deeply worried about this as an autistic person. If causing autism is this worrying to this administration, imagine how much effort they might be willing to use to 'cure' (read, traumatise, murder, or eugenics) us.
