Anyone taking months or years off of a well paying job not to have kids... do they deserve to get their jobs back?
If apples versus apples, then if Jack takes a year off to build a tree house or improve his golf swing, and Jill takes a year off to have a kid, and Jill gets her job back, should Jack also get his job back?
If Jack gets his job back but at 10% reduced pay for loss of current experience, then should Jill also get her job back but at 10% reduced pay for loss of current experience?
