It is also true that women have a closer bond at birth with their child and that women are built (breasts) to take care of children. I am not a sexist but I see realities where they exist.

1. This bond at birth does not guarantee that the mother will be a good parent and thus this is zero indication to the mothers importance. After 9 months of confinement, there is bound to be some sort of bond. Stockholm syndrome.
2) To say that breasts make women more important than man is crazy. We keep going back to this argument. Simply because a woman has breasts does not indicate her relevance. The same is true for the fact that a man has a penis. So?! Biology has little to do with the safety and care issues, it has everything to do with a continuation of the false understand that one gender is some how more important to the child. The MOST important gender to the child is the gender that takes care of, regardless of which gender that be.
