re: Women who aren't mothers also deserve paid maternity leave

I also don't disagree with the notion that in some places employees with children get some more leeway than those without. I'm not a fan of subscribing to the notion that a childless worker = no priorities and should be the one to "take one for the team" on holidays/etc unless they want to.

See the problem I've seen with this, is that parents will lie about their kids being sick, etc to get off work and it most of the time is a legit excuse that doesn't require a Dr's note. People without kids, don't get this leeway and we for sure notice all the other coworkers using that excuse.

I've started to see more jobs offer personal time along with sick leave, so this could fix some of these problems.
