Hows this for a policy. We force by law, all professional, educated women to pursue a career by requiring sterilisation before they can start a uni degree like law, medicine, etc. Or they must agree to take a few weeks only, off, at childbirth, and go straight back to full time work, while supporting a full time stay at home house husband.
Another one could be "workplace conscription" forcing women to apply for all available promotions, work 60 to 100 hours a week, like men do, work night and weekend shift work to chase the penalty rates like men do, work in dirty, dangerous occupations like underground mining or in war zones as front line troops. I am absolutely certain that women would vote for these policies. How about you?
BTW, here's another one of those "interplanetary explanations" that you, the author, and other Femanazi's find to be such an "inconvenient truth". For every 1, single, career woman out there trying to break through the nonexistent "glass ceiling", there are 1000 aggressive, "career women, by proxy" staying at home and pushing their husbands to bring home an ever expanding pay packet, to provide, the life, they appear to be, very accustomed to.
