Dex, you cannot simply expect to employ massive great sexist double standards and not be challenged about it. It is not biting your head off to point out when you’re doing this.
So I ask again, why do you only have a problem with Aliya? If you want to say that parents should ensure they spend a certain amount of time with their children, and by extension that this common practice in a number of cultures is undesirable, that means all parents. Not just the female ones.
In this setup, the child’s other parent doesn’t appear to be present at all, and you’ve not a word to say about him but reserve ire for the one who’s actually seeing the child and is evidently substantially financially providing too. Why was it ok for Alexei to have a child if he wasn’t going to be there? Why is it ok for Epke to choose a schedule combining elite gymnastics training and work as a surgeon, but be exempt from any criticism because of his *****?
