As a young female professional working in a male-dominated sector, I really appreciate this piece. Hearing stories of discrimination against mothers prepares me to stand up for myself, should I end up in a similar position when I have kids. It's hard to object to something if I don't see anyone else questioning comparable logic. Thank you, Karen, and kudos for a job well done.

I adore how informative, eloquent, and witty this site’s bloggers are - most posts read like editorials.  However, flippant entries like this one are disappointing.  What does it achieve?  You certainly didn’t convince anyone – Mr. Hack didn’t even understand your point.
