While the law has its problems it should be recognised as being a big step forward for women's lib.
Reverse sexism aside, it has nothing to do with being a woman or a man. Venezuela is well known for its ongoing food crisis, and a cursory search as already shown that absenteeism has increased exponentially as a result of "protective" labor laws. Where are the laws protecting small business owners and entrepreneurs? Instead of socializing the country in an attempt to keep political power, maybe Hugo should focus on helping those who actually take risks and contribute by providing labor. I know they're a third-world country still grappling with corruption and draconian policies, but this is not a smart way to go about fixing it.
