Unfotunately....while men may have that luxury of a woman at home cooking, cleaning, shopping....raising the kids...the man is having affairs and/or expects his wife to be thin and pretty until she's 90. I don't even want to try to fit into that mold in today's world. If you ask me, it's men who ruined most woman's desire to 'stay at home'. The divorce rate skyrocketed over mens fantasies and woman had to fend for themselves. That's why I was brought up education over everything else in my strict religious family.
You have a point - between Hugh Hefner and NOW - both men and women have been ill-served.
Nothing wrong with being prepared - education - my mother was widowed with 3 young children.
But the Ozzie and Harriet family (what did Ozzie do anyway?) should be the priority for raising children.
