It's definitely not. It's not a fifty-fifty proposition. You need a cultural change for men to decide to stay one year at home with their children and for women to do the same. Throughout society, that needs to change. It's not only in academia. The pressure under which academics are to perform.... I don't think that, you know.... Some of my female colleagues took two weeks of maternity leave. Others took a year. It depends on what the individual chooses. If it were a cultural change, then, yes, I think across society we would need to have this reflected, not only in academia.
