Though the same could be said for a father, to a much lesser extent IMO

I prolly look like a big ol' sexist now, lol

What's wrong with a stay at home dad?

Not all man are geared for the workforced, just as not all women are geared for housework, role reversals should be tolerated because they're not that out of the ordinary.

Let me great this straight; I'm really quite open about women's rights. But if the situation arose where a woman was putting her kid into daycare or forcing the child-care on the father just so she could further her career, then that's where I start feeling uneasy.

I can kinda see where you are going, but if its in the families best interests... Hopefully i am missing the point, but I hope this isn't an insinuation that its ok for the women to be forced into a child care situation either since the common goal is to further you career to only provide better for your family.. However if you are stating that its for selfish reasons I could understand that.. Provided the father were working and liked it prior to this forced situation..

But it's acceptable if the man forces it on the woman?
