> Shouldn't women be allowed to take the first year of their child's life to provide for their long-term emotional development without jeopardizing their careers?
Yes. Men should be allowed the same right.

One might insist on equivalent policies for the biological sexes on ideological grounds, e.g., men's rights, which is perfectly fine. However, from a logical perspective, arguing for males to have time off for the first year is jointly dependent on the biological argument (which applies to females) AND the ideological argument. Alternatively, from an empirical perspective, the research around males may exist and I am simply not aware of it.
