This is not a mystery. Many people abuse systems, especially paid leave. Many do not. Women are not unique in this regard.

The gaming of paid-time-off I saw when I worked as a staffer were amazing. Fake doctor notes on letterhead from a doctor that knew nothing about it was SOP. If people put half as much time into their jobs as they did figuring out how not to do their jobs we'd have run at 150% efficiency.

His mistake was limiting the comment to women.
