I have nothing against, let's say woman programmer ,so long as they are educated/employed on the same criteria as men
That's not the issue under discussion. Talking abt prescribing gendered social roles, specifically ones in which women stay home.

It's not social. No human society exists where men are caretaker and woman are the breadwinner.

Biology & culture underlie societal norms. We overcome much of biology - contraception is new, frees women & things are changing.
-
In our society, women are frequently breadwinners and men take on their share of childcare.
-
Women don't need to marry to survive now & they can choose whether they have kids and how many & they can support them by working.

This takes a lot of the burden off men &couples can decide between them how they'll divide financial & child-care responsibilities
-
Gender differences make it likely that women will always do most of the childcare but very many of us need more to our lives.
-
Most woman WANT to do that. It's against human nature that they should be breadwinner
-
If most women only wanted to do that, I'd suggest that more of us would only do that (where affordable). We have a lot of choice.
