That's an opinion I can understand, but it completely misses the point of the article. The article is about the fact that children are a far greater risk for women careers that men's.

Might that be because, even in countries devoted to gender equality to an extent previously unknown to mankind, women tend to devote relatively more of their time & concern to mothering than men do to fathering?

The obvious solution here is to convince women to stop having kids.

Now, I don't think this, but I also don't personally have a problem with women choosing kids over careers.


Corporations do actually discriminate against married women of child-bearing age, versus single women or women who have older children.

Fact is, having kids means taking time off. And while fathers can take time off if they want in many countries, most take less time than women so as to not interrupt their career.
