Honestly, its largely a non-issue. Presenting people with choice and accommodating e.g. mothers is common sense.

It is the fact of protesting such matters at work that threw me off in the first place. Opinions shouldn't be crammed down people's throats.

If the protest was about the lack of such choice, at the time, then this is still compatible with what you're suggesting is common sense.
