Alexis Ohanian wants men in the United States to break the stigma that taking paternity leave means theyre not focused on their careers and urges them to spend time with their families.

The United States is the only industrialized country that doesnt mandate some form of paid family leave, explains the Reddit co-founder in an essay for The New York Times beta site NYT Parenting .

Ohanian and his wife, tennis star Serena Williams, welcomed their daughter, Olympia, in September 2017. (Williams is a global adviser to Verizon Media, HuffPosts parent company.)

After his daughters birth, Ohanian took the 16 weeks of paid paternity leave he was granted at Reddit.
