This is laughable. For this to be true,

* raising children would require zero time and overhead

* or people who don’t have children should be barred from working more hours than a working mother can reasonably work.

Of course this entire discussion is mostly classist to such a degree many people literally don’t see it. For a mother to work full time with young children requires a lower paid (usually a woman) person to take on the child rearing role. So it’s sexist for a woman to take a few years prioritizing her children, but it’s equality for another woman to raise those children?
