So is maternity leave. It only applies to women. Does that make it sexist? No.

Last time I checked, maternity leave applies to women because they are the ones having the babies.

It is because they aren't objects is why they ought be protected.

Should that extend to everybody? I'm not sure what chivalry you abide by, but mine is "protect everyone".

Each person is different. But in most cases, there's a pretty simple rule to follow.

Wheaton's Law.

There, now you have it all down, except for the subtleties. They include: talk about mutual interests, actually give a crap about your appearance, be confident but not arrogant, and a plethora of things that vary from person to person.

Oh, and be human. It's rather hard to get in a relationship with human girls if you're a crocodile, say, or a hippopotamus. I mean, you can be a unicorn or something, maybe, depending on who you're interested in, but being human generally helps.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Clearly the menfolk are doing the birthing and going through extreme pain and bodily changes so they need the leave. :roll:

Yes, it does. But always protect the woman before the other man and the child before the woman.

On the man/woman, I gauge who can protect themselves best, then help the other one. Of course, I've never met that situation before.

Children always come first, though.
