Wow, this really is awful.
Half my team is women. They're also both parents, brilliant, brutally honest, and a joy to work with.
I've "found" that if you treat women -- like all humans -- with respect and loyalty you're pretty much done.
But what really annoys me is the fact that people think "It matters when you have kids, it really does." only applies to women. If you're a guy with kids and having kids doesn't matter, then I think you should find a different hobby than pretending to be a father. Golf perhaps.
I've found that parents, regardless of gender, require additional flexibility in their schedule. You could argue that this is self-serving because I'm parent, but it is also true.
