    At first, I thought, "Right, so if we can't make women make the same choices as men, on average, try to get men to make the same choices as women?" but on reading it, I actually approve. Making it easier for men to do more flexible & fewer hours on becoming fathers would be good.https://twitter.com/Zacnaloen/status/994901321839972358 …

        It's very unlikely that men & women will start making the same choices in the same numbers re: work/life balance if they have the same opportunities to do so but this is no reason not to try to make sure they do have the same opportunities.

        The headline 'Men should work less to close gender pay gap' is misleading & silly. Giving them the opportunity to have a better work/life balance is a noble goal. The fact that it might also reduce the pay gap is incidental and not a reason to do that.

        These things always sound good but my criticism about household incomes stands at this point.

        Replying to @Zacnaloen

        That's always the cost of having a better work/life balance and will likely be a reason why many people won't take advantage of having the opportunity to have one.

        Also, people make those choices all the time. My husband doesn’t want to progress any further because he’d see us less and the extra few £k wouldn’t be worth our family time.

        So you're saying those men that don't already make that choice should be coerced/artificially encouraged into doing so? Because we can't reach forced 50/50 otherwise?
