It is no secret that women face barriers to equal employment every day all over the world.  In the United States, some of the most blatant and persistent obstacles center around the role of women in reproduction, and our societal and cultural norms regarding childcare.  This is especially true in traditionally male-dominated workforces, such as law enforcement.  The problem is so intractable that in some cases, even when we win, the same problem sprouts up years later in a slightly different form.
