(27,315 posts)But frankly, any Democrat who will abandon stereotypical gender roles.
For example, Family leave is not good for single mothers, or even for mothers (single or married). It is good for PARENTS. Sadly, people continue to miss this point. Yes, it is good to push for equal pay for equal job, but if your vision of the world is that mummy IS THE ONE WHO should be able to stay at home or to take a leave when a child is working, you are still not fighting for gender equality.

(40,416 posts)I don't know about James Webb, but I cannot believe that he would not support it. Plus, I don't think Webb stands much of a chance.
And if Biden jumps in, he would be a leader on this issue.
Right now I have no preference that I am willing to divulge here. But it is my opinion that this will not be an issue amongst Dems.
