Remembering conclusions from studies done in the past, the fathers in Finland that takes up on the offer and use similar amount of parental leave are going to suffer more in terms of decreased wages and loss of career progress compare to mothers. People who do not conform to gender expected behavior usually get punished by society, even if politically the same society want the opposite to happen. Giving people the choice to break conformity is still a positive move, and in the long term culture might change enough that taking parental leave (and sick days) won't have a negative effect on both career and wages.
