It was because you were talking about a hypothetical public policy; and details matter when it comes to legislation.
I do acknowledge the veracity behind your premise that such a policy itself would be based on the long history of unpaid domestic labor provided by mothers as well as the gender pay inequities that have always existed. But that doesn't change the reality that it's reasonable for "us certain types" to solicit what such a policy would look like in practice, rather than telepathically channeling the internal thoughts of "y'all certain types" such as yourself...
