I do imagine many career women who consider staying away for a full 2 years, that they'll worry that they're going to be left behind and have a hard time getting back in to their old job,<br /><br />I expect that's why many big corporations, especially ones with women leadership look into having onsite daycare, so new mothers can visit their babies on a regular schedule for nursing and such.<br /><br />OTOH, a cousin of mine who works at the University of Minnesota had her boss admit that the Daycare at the University was too expensive for her income. So she had to find a neighbor with her own kids to have cheaper daycare.<br /><br />I also recall that statement from Trump:<br />http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/29/politics/trump-breast-pump-statement/<br />---<br />Donald Trump had an "absolute meltdown" when a lawyer requested a break from a 2011 deposition to pump breast milk.<br /><br />"He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed, 'You're disgusting, you're disgusting,' and he ran out of there," attorney Elizabeth Beck told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on Wednesday morning.<br />---<br /><br />Perhaps "breast pump" was a trigger word for him. Instead women need to offer a white lie and say "I need to use the powder room."<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-12026427666094061052016-12-20T11:48:35.010-08:002016-12-20T11:48:35.010-08:00David, my poor choice of words.

To normal people, this is not news. To Democrats, this is "fake news." To Leftists, this is part of the "War on Women." And to gender feminists, this is simply a patriarchal conspiracy to keep women in bondage. So whether or not this news is received at all matters depends on whose ears receive it, not these politically incorrect facts. And that has more to do with the human condition than Mother Nature. We are the only species in the world that finds ways to confuse, distort and obviate the understanding of basic mammalian truths.
