That's exactly what I meant. The responses to my comment I mostly agree with. Diminshing returns are true, but businesses pay attention to total output, not per-hour output. To say a childless workaholic with no interruptions will somehow accomplish less in 80hours than a family man will in 40hours is just not accurate. If you were a woman complaining about a pay gap, people wouldn't hesitate to point this out.

It is a sacrifice, but I consider it the right one. That the choice costs something only shows how seriously we take it. I'm just trying to add some perspective for those with an odd definition of "fairness".
