If we were in some sort of population crisis I might agree with you... but hell, if its that much of an issue why not designate certain people breeders and just pay all their expenses while their sole responsibility in life is birthing children. Similar to The Giver.

I don't think its inevitable. At least it shouldn't be.
Good or bad representation of her gender?
Pretty sure Maternity Leave is exactly that, time taken off directly after a child is born, illustrated by the woman stating that she "spent the afternoon plotting my escape from my 10-hour days, fake baby bump and all."
As for the leaving early, pushing work on others, etc. I agree that is crappy. It's definitely not a "Parent" issue, more of an insensitive co-worker issue. I feel the same way about smokers who get a break every hour.
Is this lady crazy? She has days off, it's called vacation!
Yes, I draw my own avatars.
yes and if you meet the criteria to get maternity leave that puts you in a different group then those that don't meet the criteria.
group 1 "those that meet the criteria"
group 2 "those that don't"
treating group 1 differently then group 2 is discrimination its just not bad discrimination.
