I wonder how it affects women. I've often read that part of the gender gap is because women tend to be less aggressive in negotiating an offer.

Based on that it'd make sense that they would ask for fewer days off.

s/I've often read/It has been proposed

At least the people who advance this idea should investigate unlimited PTO policies. Because if true it's akin to enforcing a policy that lower women's compensation.
