This - "The evidence shows that the workplace is skewed against all women, regardless of their desire to have children and we need to see this change, soon."

It should never be presented as a competition. The article concentrates mostly on hiring data, and yes, women who are still of 'child-bearing age' but haven't yet given birth, are assumed not to know what they want. The assumption is that at some point before you're about 45, you'll see sense and have a family. (And then you won't be a desirable employee).

However, married women already in the workforce face huge barriers because the work-life balance (ie.- doing most of the domestic stuff) that most require, is seen as a barrier to further promotion - I mean, if you can't give it your all, what's the point?

I once worked on a survey of female bosses a few decades ago, and to a woman, they said they'd held back on having kids until they made partner. (Almost 80% of the male partners were married with kids before their promotion).

Let's not kid ourselves, it's an uphill battle for women, period.
