The only reason men get paid more is because they dominate high paying fields and they don't lose time off due to pregnancy

While it's true that men often dominate high-paying fields, this is more a symptom of systemic issues than a justification. For instance, societal norms and discouragement often deter women from entering and advancing in such fields. As for pregnancy, it's worth noting that parental leave should not be a woman-specific issue. Many countries offer paternity leave, encouraging a more balanced approach to child rearing and career commitments. This can help alleviate the perceived 'loss' due to pregnancy. What do you think about more companies offering paternity leaves or even mandatory shared parental leave to balance this out?
