Swedish Paternity Leave

So I have many times talked about Swedish maternity and paternity leave and how long it is. I feel like it is a big no no for dads to take paternity leave here in the US, while in Sweden employers pretty much count on them doing so. Although I think the US maternity and paternity leave is too short, the Swedish way is an extreme to the other end. I found the article on the NY times regarding paternity leave in Sweden.
