Thanks EGCC fo.
411A and Walnut, all I can add is that I can kind of understand why some folk , mostly men without children, might find the way females are treated with regards to pregnancy and maternity leave and pay unfair.
However, put it into context, women should have equal rights in all aspects in their job as men, right?
Obviously, it is women who have the children and that is a normal outcome of most marriages and is a requirement for the human race to continue.
So, it seems obvious to me that in order for women to have a job/career and have children they need to be afforded some kind of help and protection over and above what a man gets as he can help further the human race without having to carry and give birth to a baby.
Obviously there is abuse of this in some cases, but there is abuse of sick time etc carried out by men too, so are your views formed on the basis that women shouldn't have the same rights as a man while they fulfill their uniquely female job of having children?
