My husband has very strong opinions on this issue. I won’t use his language about it LOL. But generally, his biggest beef is this:
A WM can feasibly continue getting pregnant on a certain time line and be completely exempt from a PFT, which a male is required to consistenly improve on in order to get promoted. As a woman, I also think this is unfair, because it happens waaaayyyy more than anyone would like to admit. It is completely wrong, IMO, for a woman to be eligible for promotions under different criteria. That is NOT equality.
Likewise in the real world, Mr. & Mrs Marine. Our medium-sized factory, owned by a multi-global corp, had a laughable 50% female hiring goal some time ago. These days, it’s 20% female hire/train/promote/retain. They pay lower annual bonuses to the bosses who don’t promote “enough” women, and even brag about this in various trade publications and women’s magazines!
