What is exceptionalism and what is cultural values? Is it equally revolting if Europeans are proud of a culture of having & taking long parental leave?

It resonates with me because it describes me. It’s not uniquely American, but it still describes me & the (American immigrant) culture I grew up in.

I don't think it's any different from the French being proud of their work life balance.

Am outsider and not revolted, nor consider it particularly exceptionalist, now you have 4 cents
