Having your cake and eat it...
"women who have to take a lot of time off work to have and raise children will always be at a disadvantage in the workforce"
And sometimes you need to make sacrifices to have the things you want. You want children? No problem. You want a career? That's fine too.
But if you want a career and have children, then something has to give. I don't think palming off your children to some child minder during their formative years just so you can keep your career on track is the answer.
And why should those of us (both male and female) who choose to persue a career and "go without children" pay extra in taxation so that someone can have free childcare? And before you start calling me sexist or misogynist, I know many women who hold the same views.
