I'm all for equality, but seriously, Suki?!?! What is with this statement? You sound like one of those women that preaches equality, but with a sarcastic hint of; "in reality, women are actually better!"
I think it's sad to be honest. My mum was educated and with a university degree... the first woman in our family, and first in our village. She fought for womens rights which is a big deal in Algeria and still is. BUT, after working for a while, she couldn't not be a housewife... not because society told her, but because she didn't believe in letting strangers take care of her children. She's lived a fuller life than my dad who reached the highest grade in his chosen career (for which he had a passion) and who has travelled the world. I don't see how it's sad if for some people, choosing to bring up another human life is more rewarding than going to work?!
Personally, I couldn't have children if me or the wife weren't prepared to stay at home and bring them up until they get to school. Seeing my nieces and nephew getting brought up by strangers kills me!
EDIT; I've only read the first few posts... if someone already pointed out the same points as me, sorry!
