So do you guys think they should do away with Maternity/Paternity leave? Isn't that discrimination by your definitions?
If so, should pregant moms be ineligible to be hired because they have to take off from work?
It's a very slippery slope.
I think parenting takes a very special place in our society. Maybe 20 or 30 years ago this wasn't a big deal, because mom was at home taking care of the kids (a full time job in itself) and dad was at work making the money. They didn't really affect each other. But, with equal opportunity in the workplace and the rise of a 2-income family, this changes things a bit. Things have to be shifted around.
