The last line made me think the following:
Because men never have familial obligations. Apparently.

I hope he's never employed again.

Maybe he was just tired of having the job?

Ugh, gotta love men like that...

Such blatant misogyny is so hard for me to understand. Smart sexists usually keep it subtle so it's hard to get called on. Although I think "smart sexist" is an oxymoron....

I'm glad he's resigned. These industries should think of changing to account for familial obligations of both men and women. We're not machines, you know. I think I'll move to Sweden and get my mandatory 5 week vacation and 3 plus month maternity leave. *sigh*
