Ha. Ha. That's me laughing.

There are provinces up here with reproductive rates below replacement levels. For the betterment of their society, they have initiated policies to encourage families to have more children. However, where I live, there are plenty of babies and some women have taken maternity leave only to return and find that their jobs are no longer available. The company shunts them to another job because legally the women can't be fired. It seems to me that women are discriminated against during their child bearing years because they risk career advancement by giving birth. A friend of mine undergoing fertility treatments and requiring days off for trips to the hospital was asked by her manager, "How long are you going to keep trying?"

Since I am old and tired, I am now giving up the argument. Toodles.

Read no further if your sense of humor needs a tuneup.


With all due respect, since when does reproduction
equate with "social conscience?" Child rearing is a
necessity, yes. Someone has to take enough time away
from work to care for the babies. But that's not the
same as doing something for the betterment of human
society. I certainly haven't noticed any risk of the
world running short of babies lately. :-)
