You really think men get as much paid leave as women for babies in most companies?
i'm confused about this as well. when my wife had our baby about seven years ago I had to take 2 days of PTO.
One of my female friends working for the same company got 6 paid weeks off and didn't have to take a single day of vacation.
I know it's not like that everywhere, but that's the case, give or take a week, everywhere i know.

Paternity leave is a progressive thing. Large law firms and more progressive companies do it, but acting like it is the norm is dishonest.
All other things equal, men are a better long term investment than women. I'd actually argue that women may be a better short term investment, at least anecdotally. Most women work harder and act more responsibly in their initial terms of employment than men, in my experience (in professional jobs). But, in time more than 50% leave high stress positions, often permanently. This is not an argument I'd want to take in a legal matter, but I think it is ethically sound.

And here is exactly why I said paid leave was more important than unpaid leave in this discussion.
