Had distinctly the same thoughts while filling it in....the 'reasons for leaving' section in particular has a strangely restricted (??weighted/biased???) range of options? - most of the women I know who've left archaeology over the last 10 years have left for completely different reasons not on that list (like deciding that running a diving school in New Zealand would be more fun etc etc), things like having kids have mainly just resulted in them moving to office jobs (in archaeology) or just working more flexible hours...or is my employer just more reasonable about such things than most?
