^^ Most employers are required to comply. (ETA: My last post wasn't clear on that point, but I was coming at it with the premise that the employer is already providing maternity leave under the act... pointing out that gender is irrelevant under the FMLA. Honestly, I was trying to keep my post simple and not like a treatise on employment law.)
There are exclusions, mostly for smaller employers that cannot afford to hold a job for someone regardless of gender or circumstances.
If you're giving leave to women, then you have to give it to men, regardless. At that point, even if the FMLA doesn't require it, it becomes a Title VII issue.
