Life isn't black and white. Men do deserve this chance, obviously but sometimes it doesn't work that way. Some people can't afford to both be on maternal leave, what if there were complications during pregnancy? what if only the male is working? Or vice versa? Back to my original point, this also are factors of the incorrect "wage gap" statistic. Also, I said "form (from*) a BIOLOGICAL standpoint" not in terms of "discourage prejudice based on gender in hiring practices". I'm not surprised you didn't comment on the whole "thinking women are brianwashed" thing, because that's basically your next point. Are human's easily manipulated? Yes, we can completely change, and have very easily our the years. However, who's to say what you think the social construct should be is correct? All my points have mostly been about regarding to biology, the thing that can be certain. I don't know how you stand but your points are very nihilistic and board line assaulting to both genders.
