Some real hard asses here. And mostly men chiming in. "Aw, it's too bad that I have an advantage over those people, but in the words of Bruce Hornsby, that's just the way it is. Sucks to be a woman."

I'm not sure what you are disputing? I said in my post that a company has to hold the position (or one similar). However, once the person on mat returns, the person that has been brought in is then let go (in case of a contract position) or retained. ( now being paid a second salary) That equals training + salary of new employee while the mother is off work.
Call it what you want to call it, but men have an advantage in the workplace. People taking up to a year off is a pain in the butt and cost the company in real $$$.
