Men and Women equal? No, never.

if she decides she wants to raise the kid, she shouldn't expect the company to pay her whilst she does it.

Aye... around here, the company doesn't pay for the leave. It's the social security system that takes care of that.... and the mother is entitled to 3 months leave. The father is entitled one month which he can exchange with the mother, bringing the mother's total to 4 months.

So, the companies' only problem is keeping the position vacant, while having to do the same work.

Then we have the daycare problem... daycares accepting kids as young as 3 or 4 months are rare and expensive....
