And being a woman does not = being a mother; you can't equate the two. Not every woman chooses to have children. Not every woman *can* have children, for that matter.
Of course the fact that "fatherhood" is also a job (and one would assume a very important one) never seems to lead to the assumption that men are unfit for certain professions simply because there is a possibility that they may one day be fathers.
