Very mature, if you're going to make a thread with claims that some may find inaccurate/offensive you could at least back them up instead of avoiding all relevant points and trying to turn this into a "ethan's so mean to me" festival.
Why not respond to my post? I'll edit out the last paragraph and first sentence for you:

Your argument, in regards to the work place, that woman just need to "prove they're better" in order to get treated equally as men (which they aren't - they're not being given equal opportunity and statistically make less then men do for the same jobs) is you showing you're a, eegads, sexist ***! Or at least chauvinistically ignorant. That's not the attitude you should have, you should have one of indignation in the same way you should be indigent of any other group being, be they ethnic or religious, being discriminated against because of something about their person. A woman can do a better job then a male and still be paid less in that position. It's considered acceptable and it's common place. You think that's fair? Or acceptable because "men and woman are different?" Woman make, in the United States alone, 77% of the income men make and you're complaining so much about maternity leave but something like 60% of woman have it available to them. So it's not exactly a rampant problem (though it shouldn't be at all - as tore pointed out because it’s more of a family issue than a mother issue.)
As far as woman being so lucky in the military, considering their inclusion has led to sexual assaults of all kinds and they're generally treated terribly in the military I think them wanting to get out is perfectly understandable considering they generally aren’t treated like human beings there, but rather a piece of ass.
Woman are an oppressed group; the argument that they aren’t silly. Read the Old Testament, or the Qu'ran and then look at people like yourself who insist on high standards that don't apply to the male gender. It’s something that’s become ingrained in our culture, look how the advertising portrays them as submissive and unrealistically beautiful (which psychologically has shown to lead woman being treated like doormats in society, hello domestic abuse.)
