According to her findings, bosses often regard those who opt not to have a family as cold and odd.
They can be vilified, refused jobs and denied promotions, because some employers feel female staff who don't want children lack an 'essential humanity'.

I don't know - my husband's company is thrilled when a job candidate won't have daycare issues and really frowns on hiring young parents - both men and women..
Really, there is no reason to discriminate against such a personal choice. You do not know about a person's life until you walked in their shoes. Maybe they could never afford one, maybe they never found the right person to be with, and maybe they have a genetic disorder they didn't want to pass on. You don't know, so don't judge.
