So....are you saying your anecdotal evidence is better than the statistical analysis referred to in the Freakonomics books?

I'm saying that by using real life experience of myself and other females around me, I have not seen evidence of this. Ever. Most companies give you ~6 sick days. So if 12 are taken (one per month) then that is pay docked from that person, which would negate the whole "unfair" argument in the first place.

And my idiot comment was directed towards those who were just spitting out opinion, not facts. If I am an idiot, fine, but I am CERTAINLY not the only idiot in the present thread.
