Yeah I think it's a bit more complicated than 'women had to take time out to have kids' and in some cases I think that's used as a bit of an excuse for the whole problem of sexism in the workplace. It would be nice for starters if men could (and wanted to) take just as much time out from their career to raise their children!
When I was at school and uni I sort of thought well the world is all equality of the sexes these days, but when I went to work I was pretty well shocked at the subtle and not so subtle sexism that still exists.
