  That’s the worst part of it - he is a father. Which means his public utterances completely devalued the years and years of work of his wife.

  I’m a childless man who is not able to deal with children because i am very sensitive to voices and noise, and i understand anyone who does not want to have children. But negating that children are a ton of work very important for a functioning society that goes unrecognized because “they are no business case” is just infuriating even to me. I am ashamed to have this guy as a chancellor.

    Shit. As someone with two daughters I can assure you that we can deduce that his wife has never had a genuine break from childcare however long their kids have been alive.

      Yeah, i pity her. She should dump that scumbag and get a partner that wants to be there for the children - i am sure they would call the new guy “papa” faster than the divorce goes through,
