You are the first person I've ever met (if you call this a meeting) who
would never call other people's sincerely held beliefs "stupid".
(What are unsincerely held beliefs?)  I reserve the right to be
judgemental.

When you say you are for paternity leave, do you mean that you prefer
working for an employer who provides it, are more likely to spend your
money in businesses that provide it, would provide it to those you
employ, etc..., or do you mean that the federal or state legislatures
should pass laws requiring employers to provide maternity leave?
