You underestimate the abilities of a woman. Certainly, coding would not be inimicable to one's pregnancy. Unloading a 53' trailer of furniture would be another story, but I don't know many coders of either sex that could do that without whining a lot. Men I've had work for me took off as much time for wimpy reasons as most women take off for pregnancy leave. Women are held back from 'equality' because men have managed to convey that killing the elephant for supper is the tough part, while squatting and dropping a kid is easy, and the li'l suthen belles have helped maintain the myth. If something "just wasn't done!" it's because men and women both fell for the lies promulgated by controllers and manipulators.
