And men should have equal right to see their children as well, in some places they do not have that.

And remember it was really about a kind of division of labour in the past. Men went out and got the money and women looked after the home. Some might argue women got the better deal sometimes (not conscripted into war), and it's not like most men for 100s of years got much of an education either or had any real political rights. And there were no doubt some societies in the past where women did have a different role as well.

Anyway I have no problem with equal rights, as long as it's for everyone. In practice of course governments will always side with some people against others (minorites) anyway. And in entertainment pay, as I said, is based on audience draw not on whether you do the same thing.
