You do know women also work the same jobs as men, right? The ones that make money?

I think you misread, or I put it badly. Since OP referred to pregnancy as "work" and compared it to having a job (or at least that's how I read it), I specified that by "work" and "jobs" I meant something that brings in a paycheck.
