Right off the bat, how many men have taken a year (or much more) away from their careers to have & raise a child?

edit to add: As JAG just pointed out, this seems like a different argument/point than the creative vs politician (or other field example). I'm now just thinking that was more of an example than the point of what you're trying to get your head around.
