In France, women are urged to stay at work and have many children, and there are great incentives for this. Free childcare, 4 month paid maternity leave, free post-birth therapy sessions, tax breaks on as many children you have, and others like this. Yet, women in France are still tasked with the domestic work and caring for their children. Women on average spend twice as much time daily doing "domestic work" than their husbands. They make 26% less on average than male counterparts and women weren't allowed to vote until 1945. They may have many advantages, but women in France are by no means equal.
