I'm more tempted to think of people as individuals who make their own life choices, rather than think of all women as 'pregnancy risks'. Especially in technology - a lot of geek women don't have or want kids.

And as an employee, I want at least the illusion that the company cares about us having fulfilling, valuable lives, rather than as producers in a harsh economic calculus. The same way they want me to think of them as something more than a paycheck. This kind of thinking is the fast track to having mercenary workers who constantly jump ship to other companies.

So glad I don't work for this guy.

Am I the only one who sees the hint of a contradiction there? Granted, it's not as broad as "all women", but you still seem to be stereotyping.

People are individuals, but there are things which hold true, on average, between certain populations.

It's not a contradiction, it's called outliers... or even 1/10th a standard dev, depending on how close the means are.
