Great article...ya wanna hear my Mr. Patriarch opinion? Women, if they want a family, should be the one to stay at home and raise the kids. Yes, it is actually a far bigger job than the husband who is working for the family's sustenance, and ultimately far more important. If a woman wants to follow a career, then don't have a family. Harsh words, yes, but if that is their calling (a career) then their calling is not to raise kids...fine....go for it.
Second best is if dad stays home, but it is a far less than best scenario...there are some pretty screwed up archetypal dynamics if that is what happens, but it is doable. Not good though.
I feel kids need the mother at home past 10. Maybe at least up til adolescence, but certainly not past that (college age). In fact, by that point if she is still trying to call the shots things could get pretty messy. And then, yes, she can have her career.
