There are mothers out there with alcoholic, abusive husbands that are pulling the weight of both roles because it’s necessary for their children.
There are fathers out there working and taking their kids to school, camp, etc., because their mothers passed away.
There are women who are doctors that care for others during the day and take care of their families at night.
If I’m ever able to have children, you sure as hell better believe I’ll teach my daughters to care for others but be independent. No way I’m letting them get stuck being dependent on a deadbeat husband like my grandfather or on societal handouts.
Nothing you just said is relevant to the fact that society is built on gender roles and as more and more people abandoned them, we continue to degenerate.
There are always exceptions to the rules, but that doesn't negate the rule. If enough men or women shirk their duty, there will be no society left for your children to be "strong independent women" in. This partnership is the foundation of the family and the family is the foundation of civilization.
Families are built with strong mothers and fathers. Families where parents share responsibilities are stronger and more resilient.
Placing all of the responsibility on the mother alone leads to more familial destruction in the future.
I’m watching it happen with my own family as my mother feels incredibly disconnected from community and the world as her children grow up. She doesn’t know what to do with herself now that her role—child rearing—no longer exists. She resents my father and my family for leaving her without a place and support system because she spends so much of her life only taking care of us while my dad didn’t do much of anything except earn the money and show up for the big events.
You can be a mother and a breadwinner without being an idiot.
