I'm not thinking-of-the-children, I'm thinking-of-my-children. I don't care how other parents choose to allocate their parental leave. If they want it to be more equitable, then more power to them. And it's not dogma it's just a biological fact that men can't breastfeed and thus women spend more time with the child. There is a snowball effect to this that makes the connection stronger which seems to be pretty self-evident.
