part of the problem here is that the impact having of kids is quite different women than it is for men. Men don’t get pregnant. They don’t have the health problems related to pregnancy. It is possible that a man would not need any days off to have a child(other than the day that child is born). This is not true for women. I want to make clear that I am not arguing that the question was or was not appropriate(in truth, I honestly don’t know). I am just saying there differences. For example: if a male President were talking about having kids while in office, there probably wouldn’t be any concerns about having to hand over power to the Vice President for a time. A female President would probably have to hand over power at least during labor.
