Also, the conversations about who's actually doing all of the child care can get so much more sophisticated than they have been.

 "A mother is an option, a floating worker, the joker in the pack. Not mothering creates a hole for that 'free' service, which societies increasingly arranged around nuclear families and poorly subsidised rights depend on. The lack of parental leave, childcare and elderly care would become profoundly visible – 'disorienting and disturbing' – if that service were removed."

~ Nesrine Malik
