There is strong reason to believe the lack of flexibility would hit women much stronger than men.

Census that shows 82.6% of custodial single parents are female in the United States. http://www.census.gov/prod/2009pubs/p60-237.pdf

Article summarizing studies that show that even in marriages that attempt to be egalitarian both spouses agree the female ends up taking on more of the household responsibilities. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/31/upshot/millennial-men-find...

Well, but then that simply is a choice, isn't it?

I would not expect to be paid in full if I work part-time - why should that be true if I would be a woman?

So--- we should both encourage flexibility in jobs. But we should also encourage a more equal split in custody. If 82.6% of custodial single parents are female, we're doing something wrong.
