[quote=Anonymous]There is too much extremism going through this conversation. The idea that you are pitting your family against someone else's will lead to disintegration every time. While we girls sit around fighting each other men are going about their business of earning 30% more and all the privileges that come along with having a penis.

My suggestion is that we try to compromise and not become so disenfranchised that we settle for disparities rather than fight them. You don't see men fighting for the subjugation of other men. If you feel the status quo of ignoring women's rights is wrong than you can choose be to the change agent. Focus on what you CAN do. Are you able to give her three weeks leave and allow her to bring the baby to work for three weeks? Are you able to take you annual family vacation immediately before or after her paid vacation so that she has three weeks or a month? Perhaps a nanny in her play group, who already knows your kids, can take your little one along with hers own for a week in order to extend the leave just a week longer.

I have no idea what all the answers are but I do know that we women can make a way or find a way when it comes to our kids. Otherwise, maybe the men are right and our second class status is a reflection of our aptitude.[/quote]
