My dad started a company when I was pretty young and I used to see him one week a month. It's quite naive to think that less time with your kids doesn't in some way prevent you from being the best possible parent.

Anyone who thinks kids getting less time with their parents is as good or can somehow be made as good as kids getting a lot of time with their parents is delusional.

Its a very real choice.

Nowhere in the post do we see any statistics or hard facts on how many entrepreneurs succeeded in launching a company and making it successful while being pregnant or while having young kids.

Given that there are fewer women entrepreneurs than men entrepreneurs it would be a safe assumption that the number of pregnant women entrepreneurs or women entrepreneurs with young kids would be pretty low.

Besides you can get into evolutionary psychology and then it becomes pretty obvious that men have a much higher impetus to take big risks than women.

This whole movement towards political correctness has become ridiculous.

How come men don't get to bitch about not being able to have kids? Are we supposed to pretend that being biologically built to bear kids doesn't in some way make women predisposed to favor kids over startups?

The choice is very real and it's between raising great kids who get enough attention from their parents and raising a great company that gets enough attention from its founders.

Without hard data pointing out how many women started great companies while also raising kids who didn't turn out to be nutcases the girl's argument is just wishful thinking.
