It is rather sad, I was always told the original goal of the woman's movement was to allow greater choice for men and women in terms of traditional gender role; eg. women could have a career and men could be stay at home fathers. For whatever reason, in most cases nowadays both parents have to be slaves to the grind just to survive (they have no choice) and keep their families fed and being a stay at home parent is no longer an option.
Those who can be stay at home moms are sometimes looked down upon by other women, and stay at home dads always seem to be looked down upon by everyone (they are lazy, being a stay at home dad is not considered "work" for men, etc.)
I guess some call this "progress"
