Women taking 10x as much leave as men is great if you want to reinforce traditional gender roles about caregiving.
That's a reasonable concern, but I think
requiring the parental leave to be split isn't a reasonable solution.
In a lot of families, that will just create serious problems without any real upside.
I don't have a good solution to suggest, but there has to be some leeway for families to work those details out themselves without having to justify their choices so as to be granted an exception.
