That is exactly what I wrote. Your characterization lends to women feeling less than, for young girls to hear they can't be as effective as police officers or firefighters or electricians or whatever. Let people be who they want to be-men can be stay at home dads and women can build a house. It is unhealthy for either gender to be pigeon-holed in roles so why don't we all just stop it?
