- Assembly has a rule that only members are allowed in the assembly hall. - One member requests special permission to bring her child. - They refuse. - She brings her child anyways. - They require she obey the rules, like every other member. Consider for a minute why these rules are in place. Imagine for a moment that everybody started bringing children to work. Suddenly the assembly is having to speak over crying children. Or members, in the midst of a debate, having to excuse themselves to deal with their children. Oh sorry, I missed that. Could you please repeat it? It would be horrifically counter productive, and chaotic. This seems simply highly disrespectful of the organization of which she's a part. And the article also reeks of sexism. This has nothing to do with sex. Men and women have the exact same issue in this case. Finding appropriate care for your child is a major issue and the responsibility here is one of the major issues of parenting. Deciding to simply take your child to work in most professions would lead the real possibility of things like a crying child completely hampering everybody's work day. That's not progress by any interpretation of the word.
