I guess you lobby for them, just like women did.  Surely men as a group
can find a way to accomplish this since women managed to.  And if it is
not presented as a way to "get back at women", there is a great chance
that women's group would also support equal paternity and maternity
leaves (I think most feminists do).  After all, such equality is in the
best interest of everybody involved except corporations.  Therefore it
is against business that your fight will be directed, not women.
