The Seoul city government has sparked anger for offering advice to pregnant women that includes ensuring their husbands have clean clothes and enough to eat while they are in hospital giving birth.The guidelines, posted on a government-run website, included tips for expectant South Korean mothers at different stages of their pregnancy.In the early stages, for example, it suggested that they avoid putting off housework as it would help them maintain a healthy weight.It added: “Hang the clothes you wore before you were pregnant in a place where they are easy to see as that will motivate you to keep your weight under control and go back to the same weight you were before you gave birth.---2021 and we still deal with these around the world. Will the status of women ever change? Unfortunately, South Korea might have done that but I see the trends in other parts of the world (including the so-called "more developed" societies which do it in a more insidious manner)Posted by @iynna
