My child's tutor (YR8) started a class debate about whether women of child bearing age should be employed. Is it unreasonable to think this is sexist and ridiculous?

I'm with dirtyduchess here. It's exactly the sort of thing we were given to debate because we were learning how debate works and so on.

Playing Devil's Advocate here but this might actually show the kids the sexism in this topic. It might be a really worthwhile debate.
