For me it's more about equality of opportunity, particularly in education and jobs. That swings both ways btw. I don't like seeing men excluded from traditionally female jobs just because they are men.
It means paying comparable jobs the same wage, which isn't the case right now.

I also think paternity leave rights should be extended and shared with maternity leave, so that childcare isn't seen as the sole preserve of women. Likewise sole custody in the case of a divorce shouldn't automatically go to the woman.
