I just feel like that assumes so much missed work, when most places only offer a token amount of maternity leave, if any.

So if someone with an engineering degree and someone with a liberal arts degree both end up working in the mailroom... who should make more?

So like, a six week break in your twenties is sufficient to account for a 20% penalty over your lifetime? Don’t tell that to people who take a gap year to backpack through Europe.

lol at that last paragraph if you think “mansplaining” has the emotionally charged history of those other two words

Perfect! I literally can’t see any problems with this.

“most of us”

Delicious if true.

(it’s the bluebonnet and they’re great)

If you think your primary function is merely to pass along your genetic information, then you should quit your job and focus…
