Quote:I believe I unearthed your ideology.


Should women be given the same amount of front loaded, or accrual rate sick time, as men being that the functionally of a woman's body, ie menstrual cycles, pregnancy is drastically different even though woman can prove they do the same job just as well of not better? Does that constitute in your mind as "less work" because they have those regular body functions which may cause them to go on leave?


Back to the first part of your response. Does your wife make more or equal to her counterpart in her position?

Gosh this is sad.


Benefits do not exist. They are manifestations of wages. Wages are determined by the economic output of an employee. So if anyone, male or female, is going to be away from the job site or the office more than someone else for whatever reason then that diminishes their potential economic output.


If you want to give more compensation, as a result of legislation, to a class of employees that won't be able to be available as much as other employees then you artificially make the expense of the protected class and then make it impossible for them to compete in the market leading to higher unemployment among the protected class.


Pay everyone in proportion to what they produce.
