Wouldn't it be fairer to pay people who do 100% of their job 100% of their pay, regardless of whether they are men or women or whether or not they had kids?

If as an employee you say you are available 100% of the time but you only work 50% of the time because you have kids, shouldn't you be thrown to the bottom of that corporate ladder?

The sad truth is, men have habitually overworked because it is expected of them the same way women have habitually been the primary caregivers of children since that has been expected of them.

Punishing children with 50% parenting is a recipe for disaster.
