How is wanting to see more women raising their children sexist? Many women actually prefer to be housewives and bring up their kids, but society for some reason has decided that if they don't become a "career woman" than they're excrement.
I didn't see anything sexist in what he said, either. He never said a woman needed to stay home. He just said having a father and a mother is ideal. I think that's wrong as gender roles are now less defined. However, I also think you're wrong about people thinking career women are excrement. In fact, I see more of the opposite, that people consider it sad if a woman CHOOSES to have a career with children and a working husband. They try to be PC and say "Oh, but their nanny is soooo great." Where I think things have changed is that I see a ton of dads who are more involved with their kids and do the drop off and pick up, etc. That's probably because people around here have very flexible schedules (I know way more single income homes where mom doesn't work at all than dad), but those seem to be the families that get the most "credit"...indirectly of course. Wouldn't want to shame people with nannies. I'm guilty of it too. I think kids benefit from having family around, be it mom and dad or grandparents or cousins or whatever, but mostly because I see so many terrible nannies. Thankfully, my wife and I were in a position that one or both of us could always be with the kids, much easier now that they're both in school.
