I think you guys didn't quite catch his point... he doesn't hate women and children, he hates that the state forces him to employ a person for 3-6 years! without working. I support maternity leave but that's ridiculous if true.

I don't know how it works exactly in Hungary, but I doubt that the woman on maternity leave would cost him much, if anything. He probably simply has the obligation to hire her back after the leave.
He explained that he'd have to hire another person in the meantime, and pay her accrued vacation time. Then potentially lay off the second worker.
