> It's almost impossible to take 5 years out of the career game and come back in with the standing you had when you left. While that's not sexist per se, it's incredibly fucking inhumane, and happens to inflict more harm on women.

I couldn't hire someone who had five years without any practice in their trade to most of the positions I hire for.

You seem to be implying that I shouldn't even be considering that in the past 5 years, between two applicants, one has been in the trade, practicing and producing work, and the other hasn't.

That different life choices have different outcomes isn't sexist.
