I am trying to bolster the case for this quote by Nancy Fraser, critical theorist and feminist thinker - "In my view, this gendered, hierarchical division between production and reproduction is a defining structure of capitalist society and a deep source of the gender asymmetries hard-wired in it."

Can someone please help me understand why things like guaranteed paid parental leave, that are supposedly common in all countries except U.S and Papua New Guina are not enough.

I want to understand and also be able to field the response of things like - "Why can't we just lobby for laws guaranteeing more benefits like parental leave?" and the like.
