I do find it interesting and maddening that, within hours of a query about maternity leave, people are immediately shouting "BUT WHAT ABOUT TEH MENZ?" Heavens forbid we should talk about women's rights for ten minutes without some dude coming in to tell us how oppressed he is, too. Randy, congratulations!
