Yes perhaps they are.
You should read up a bit on social issues in Holland and scandinavia.
I am at the moment 50% on parental leave, while my wife is on 50% leave while working 60 %.
We can share our leave equally......we even get a bonus when we really share it 50/50.
My neighboor was also on parental leave and while she was on leave she got a promotion.
Our sons daycare has an extensive gender equality program, where boys are supported when they want to do girls things and the other way around.
What did you think when you read my posts critizizing e.g. the US or the south of europe? That I was some racist bigot? No, we really do things different here.
