With this policy, the ERC implies that the impact on my professional duties as a parent is limited to the duration of my parental leave. Upon the conclusion of my leave, it appears that I am expected to resume work fully, thereby relegating the responsibility of childcare exclusively to my female partner, who is entitled to an 18-month extension for her application. This policy is patently sexist. In nations like the Netherlands, where parental leave durations are notably brief, such a policy disproportionately burdens mothers with childcare responsibilities.
