I've only worked at one company that had it, and that was the mail order place I worked at in the mid 1990s. Women got 6 weeks; men got 3 days. They could take more time if they wanted but had to use vacation time if they wanted to be paid for it.
I actually had two weeks paid maternity leave at my last full time job. I was the only full time employee so I don't know if it would have been offered to a male in my position. The only person I know right now who has paid leave is my brother in law. His company provides paid maternity and paternity leave, plus a bunch of other cool benefits (like free lunch everyday!).
