i've checked the 10 (very interesting) graphs, and the one about " The Hidden Cost of Motherhood" struck me in the opposite direction than what they're aiming at.
the text talks about motherhood as if it is an injury or disease that is harming the women, and how societies across the globe are not supporting women so they can finally come back to work where supposedly everyone wants to be.
on a side note i could argue, that this is not the hidden cost, but rather the missing pay that women should get for raising the next generation of human beings that will push the economy further ahead in years to come, and instead they're expected to give this extremely valuable work for free.
but the sad part about all those graphs (for me), is the men salary that stays practically unhindered by the fact they are becoming fathers. it seems like the message here is - "men fulfill themselves while women get screwed (Again!)", but i think it could (also) read "women are allowed to fully invest and fulfill themselves through their motherhood, while men lose their chance of a parenting experience to the burden of paying the bills"
