I've seen many men in my current career take paternity leave though. I've also worked with a single dad. I'm not saying these aren't a struggle but they aren't wholey unique to women. If anything, women are legally protected while pregnant, a guy is not of he starts to struggle with a child birth.
I'm open to the idea what women make less or whatever, I'd just wanna see the numbers because this line of reasoning doesn't really seem that persuasive.
People make mistakes. I've been a teenager working in fast food. I would not be trusting them to keep you alive.
