A year? So you want to eliminate all possible incentive for companies to hire women? Force companies to pay a woman a full year for doing NOTHING whereas if you'd hired her husband, you'd have a full year of work?
As I said before, women are either equal or they are not. They are either capable of being both workers and mothers or not, just as men are capable of being either workers and father's or not.
You're under this retarded notion that women would get pregnant just to have a vacation. That's stupid. Also, women make up half the population. They would need to fill those positions somehow don't you think? Of course they'll still hire women.
They didn't used to hire as many women when more women were in the home, did they? There is no labor shortage in this global economy.
Did I say that women were getting pregnant in order to get a vacation? NO.
But the company doesn't care why she got pregnant, it only knows that under your proposed government imposed rule, it would be forced to pay her for a whole year for NOTHING whereas if she had been a he he would have worked that whole year.
It's an absurd notion, and my original satirical response to this thread was exactly on point.
