My god. I swear reading these comments is making me less intelligent. There is no argument against equal pay unless you're an insecure man. They get maternity leave because they push a human out of their body and they should get more time than they do.

Those kind of policies are not helping women but the opposite, they do harm women because it puts them into a position which is more expensive through benefits. Of course, you can go and calve stay 6 years at home on maternity benefits but stop bitching it's hard to get a job afterwards or your salary is too low or your retirement is too low. Business is business not charity. And one of the biggest bullshit ever was the "having it all" mentality. There is no such thing as having it all.

This enrages me a lot because where i live the employer is the one who loses if a woman gets knocked up and this resulted in job insecurity for women of childbearing age - it's hard to get a permanent, full-time job and even a job at all. I wrote before about that. Employers are not allowed to ask you about it but they do make assumptions. Just yesterday i read an article in our newspaper about the hardships to get a job and advance your career when you hit late 20's. And many commenters said that they would not hire women because of the risk, some recruiters even admitted anonymously that they rejected women who had strong skills and experience just because they were at that age.
