What an absolute slap in the face to the female race!!! Like we need anymore!! WOW, I don't believe there is enough injustice in the world.....could I have some more of that please, with a side of sexual harassment....? Jeez!!
Sorry, I get down sometimes about mothers that have or choose (whichever the case may be) to go back to work and are breastfeeding (or not, because it DOES affect either way) they do not need to face anymore challenges....this puts a gloomy feeling on the day....this will be an interesting societal/work ethical issue to watch unfold!!

Hi, Judy and Friends: If you have not yet discovered the website:
www.momsrising.com, please go visit. A "buzzword" of 2008 seems to be a
concept called "maternal profiling". I'm sure most of us here in the US are
familiar with the term "racial profiling", in which a person is discriminated
against or harrassed due to their race. According to the MomsRising group, a
similar situation exists in the working world against mothers. Besides the
salary gap, other problems are opportunities for career advancement and basic
treatment of a mother vs. non-mother by her co-workers and supervisors. I
wonder, with our presidential election this year, if any of the candidates
(particularly the one working mother candidate) will pick up and address this
issue.

Who herself is not unfamiliar on a personal level with this concept.
