I'll suggest a possible explanation for that:
You offered a convoluted explanation - by means of a poorly thought out example - of why you were "for more discrimination"-..part of the larger narrative of how men and women just aren't equal. But since this stems from a belief previously held and then only later rationalized (or at least an attempt is being made) you've fallen into the unfortunate position in which it's difficult for you to comprehend why the justifications offered for this previously held belief run either at odds, or not at all - to the belief in question- and your own thoughts on the matter (at least insomuch as they are expressed in this thread).
Let me simplify.
The sexes aren't equal, and to highlight this-we reference pregnancy (herp derp)
Employers should be able to discriminate based upon sex - due to a reasonable expectation of having to pay maternity leave.
-However, since you see nothing wrong with paying maternity leave, why this is a compelling reason to discriminate in hiring practices becomes a mystery. I suspect, that the example offered hd nothing to do with why - in your mind- it was okay to discriminate against this person. I doubt it went much further than -
"because vagina".
