You're disagreeing with facts.

The US is in the group of seven countries which do not mandate maternal let alone paternal leave.

This is a cold hard fact. Stop crying over living in a shithole and get out of that denial. The US does not have legally mandated maternal leave. No-one in the US has the default legal right to that. Because it's not enshrined in law. As a mandatory thing for employers to do.

Kinda how it's mandatory to pay taxes.

"Story doesn't even use the word" are you on crack?

The original article doesn’t mention mandatory

It's the literal title.

That's how the word is used.

Just the other day I was talking about how ironic it is how often I end up teaching Americans English.
