I think the main problem is that for men, historically, being the one raising kids is looked down upon. This still lingers. And for women, being the one staying at home is now looked down upon. Just see how some people are frowned upon for traditional roles. We just need to be okay with anyone doing his life, no matter if a man wants to stay at home raising kids, a women wanted a strong career path or a woman wanting to stay home and let the men earn the money. All those three things are not equally accepted in society. But they should be.

the women picking a traditional role are at an economic disadvantage to the ladies working 9 to 5 with no kids.
