With that said if a woman doesn't want kids and chooses to pursue the corporate world then I'm all for it. Yes the ol' boys club definately exists in some industries but there's no doubt that maternity leave/raising children factors in to a large degree.

It's funny how certain topics are so touchy.
When people say "women make less then men" they're not talking about soccer moms. They're talking about women with the same education, experience and commitment to their jobs. The stats the point to women making less then men control for those other factors such as being soccer moms.
