I can understand why Facebook and Apple is going to pay women to freeze their eggs, but I think some of the women are going to take advantage of that. If a woman doesn't plan on having kids, she might freeze their eggs just for the money

I think its stupid how apple and Facebook freezing women's eggs is really stupid and what benefits do they get out of it

Freezing eggs, a new company benefit? If I were a woman would I want to work at Facebook and Apple now? Don't really know!

I've heard that high tech is anti woman, which is surpising and disappointing. Isn't this industry supposed to be attracting the best and brightest? And this is how they really think? Again, surprising and disappointing!
