There are things you can do to help harmonise pay between men and women. Giving men equal paternity leave to women for example. I'm not a big believer in quotas as I think it can cause companies to choose people of a lesser skill set just because of their sex. That's not to say there aren't competent female engineers, managers etc. there are, it's just that, there's not enough of them and we need to be taking steps to encourage women into these industries.

In Germany, men can take equal paternity leave as women. And it is used sometimes, actually. And these quotas just say that "30% of each gender should be in corporate boards" or that "negotiating a custom pay should be illegal" – the negotiation part also discriminates against people who aren’t good at negotiations, therefore provides a different pay for people based on a totally unimportant metric.

  men can take equal paternity leave as women. And it is used sometimes, actually. But that is missing the point. Paternity leave should be split in half, so commercial risk of pregnacy falls on both sexes in the same way.
