A period of time where the woman takes advantage of the fact that shes a woman and gets paid for not showing up to work. Don't ask why, or else risk being branded as woman hater by feminists.
RationalDude: Maternity leave is basically a paid vacation, thats why its controversial.
Feminist: What? You have something against maternity leave? You must be RACIST...I mean uh SEXIST! You hate women! You're a rapist! You beat your wife every night don't you?
RationalDude: I don't hate women and I'm not married yet...
