I feel about this the way I feel about the male academics who use paternity leave to do more research (thus furthering their careers) rather than to actually care for their children -- it's men taking advantage of physical differences to their own advantage and to the disadvantage of the people who need parental leave as medical recovery as well as bonding time.

If his wife desperately wants more time at home with their child, this man should be advocating for longer parental leaves, not gaming the system to his own advantage.
