Holy shit why is this allowed? If I said to my boss "hey I want to take a year and a half paid leave for a personal decision of my own. If you don't pay me I'll take you to court" I'd get fired on the fucking spot. Why is this shit allowed?
i heard that kind of thing has something to do with pedestals
A Year and a half? What sort of liberal paradise do you live in? The standard here is three months, then you either come back or lose your job.

UK, women are entitled to 1 ye maternity leave after birth and up to 5 months beforehand

This shit happens in Australia too. Then women complained about not being paid equally. Now they get paid equally and still pull this shit. Such a fucking joke

What is it with women and not wanting to work after popping out a kid lol. I see it here too in the states. Hell some have kids just so they don't have to work.

I don't mind them not working after having a kid. It's what is supposed to happen. I don't like them getting paid by their workplace for it though. It's disgusting.

Pregnant women shouldn't even be allowed to work, they should be fired.
I've never once seen a pregnant woman doing their job properly.
