Currently there's a penalty for hiring women based on that exact same reasoning.

  Right, but that penalty is deeply ingrained into our capitalist society. You can't solve it with just a quick bandaid fix.

    Can it be fixed? In the end, pay is linked to productivity. The only fix I see is increased use of paternity leave.

      Productivity on paternity leave is zero, since you're not working, so why expect pay to be anything but zero? "Paternity leave" is an attempt to create a non-capitalist bubble inside of a capitalist world. It's like building a colony on Mars; not something you can do trivially.
