[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If most women didn't opt out, then employers wouldn't worry about hiring women who might have children, because they'd assume the women will continue to work. See, once you set the norm as "once a woman has kids, she opts out for a few years," employers see all women of childbearing years as potential opt outs. But if there isn't a "norm," then employers hire based on a person's qualifications and commitment and doesn't expect that if that person is a woman, she's going to quit in a few years. [/quote] Yes, but the fact is that most women don't "opt out" (Google opt out myth), and guess what? Employers still discriminate against mothers.[/quote]
