If this is what you want to do, fine. Find someone else who wants to, go do that. Try not to die in childbirth or fighting over a cow.

Then it should be quite clear that women can also do things other than raising children, cooking & cleaning a house - eg medicine.

None of this - 'It's my natural role to develop software & women's to have lots of babies."

"I fulfil my role by spending half my waking life at work & half with my family. Women should fulfil theirs by devoting 100% to family.'

We are different on average coz we evolved with different pressures. Society evolved too to produce opportunities for the full spectrum.

The 'public sphere' now includes many important roles which draw on abilities & interests women have to a greater degree than men.
