Women have an earlier retirement age anyhow, and are often subject to sexual discrimination at work in terms of pay, insults, and who knows what else. And you're telling us you want to INCREASE the level of discrimination?

Besides which, university education is a choice made by the individual, not an automatic right. Women who choose to go through higher education usually have a clear career in mind, regardless of their family plans. Your proposal would eliminate a significant proportion of the workforce - which no country can afford. And as for your example - it happens with men too, generally more so. What's your point?
