I like Santorum, but he really needs to STFU sometimes. This should not be a trick question: It’s an iron, universal demographic law that women of childbearing age have to be protected, otherwise there won’t be a next generation. Biologically speaking, men are expendable, women are not.
Yes, you are right. Even the most professionally-dedicated women realize at some point, as they age, that their biological imperative, motherhood, those emotions and stipulations in their DNA, truly are their prime defining properties, what makes them who they are. But they will not abide for a moment, this kind of stuff coming from a man who judges everybody else as a sinner, not on a par with his quality character, and sometimes just plain mean, or seemingly so... I disagreed with you, men are NOT expendable, they fix cars really well, and almost always volunteer to go out after midnight for Chinese food, even on a weeknight. We need them, we love them. :)

Who is supposed to impregnate the women? I work with several women who refused to have children; they’re expendable, as long as someone will look after their dog/cat. All they do is complain at work how women with children have allowances made for them in terms of work schedules, and that any company picnic that includes employees’ children should include their pets as well; I have no problem with these biologically unproductive women serving in frontline units.
