It doesn't even make sense for an investor to provide office space, or even payroll services. How could it possibly make sense for them to provide child care?

This is a red herring.

In fact, it comes across a little like "well, thing will be better for women once society fixes their expectations about child care".

No. Women are perfectly capable of balancing their child care needs inside their families using their own support networks. Child care is a private issue. Founders are adults. Don't infantilize them. Don't try to run their families for them.

What needs to stop happening is people bringing up child care as an impediment to entrepreneurship. That's the child care problem we have in startupland.
