    You need to make men feel more welcome to stay at home

    Or, is the real problem that men are just not given enough encouragement to stay at home and take care of the house.

    With all the time and effort spent to pave the way for women to have careers, I think everyone forgot that it is just as big a cultural shift for a man to stay at home with the kids. There remains an intense pressure for men to have successful careers. While it is certainly arguable that men have many more choices than women, it remains the case that the choice of staying home with the kids is almost never one of those options.
