however, when we say "equality" we must think of biological differences as well. You can't just decide - for example - that in the name of "equality" women can't take maternity leave.

No, you missed my point. The women were accused of being lazy but what was happening was the guys were just showing off in front of them. I knew the man who ran the company and he said it was a tactic that was commonplace: that men work far harder in manual labour when they're around women, rather than women doing less. It's a male vanity thing. Some of the women I worked with were far stronger than a lot of the men, they were just sensible enough to let them get on with breaking their backs.
