The response I got was the it's just the stage of life he is at and I should accept that. I'm not really happy with the response, but they also said that they were going to hire someone - so that is good.
I still think the double standard is BS though. I would gladly take a reduced workload if I could get the same pay and benefits, but because I have not impregnated someone, that option isn't available. So basically, if you ejaculate into someone's vagina without using protection, you stand to get more favourable work place treatment.

Wow, I totally read your story wrong. I thought someone had a kid. You've got quite the open workplace! You don't need a kid; you need a hidden camera.
