I will say that I do believe there are times when companies will discriminate against women by saying the job requires heavy lifting, and many women can't lift the weight, however, most of these jobs actually use pullys, machines and forklifts to lift the weight of the products they claim are lifted by hand in the advertisments. Those adverts make me mad. Men don't leave work as much to care for children that's true, but that can show a lack of responsibility on the part of the father to his sick child, or that he feels dominate over his wife but sometimes too I think it's a matter of who makes more money if John makes $20/hour and Alice makes $7.25.hour it's only practical that she stay home instead of John. Unfortunatly that adds to the problem, women have to make the choice that they need to come home because they don't make as much money. Someone has to make the choice to care for the children when they are sick, I am only sad that more fathers don't think this is their responsibilty too.
