I notice you've used a throwaway account for your opinion, but I'm willing to potentially burn a little karma and say that I agree with you. When I worked in the local high school, I had an American colleague who went absolutely mad when one of the students offered up that she wanted to be a housewife as her career. Comments like, "How can you throw your life away?" drove that student to tears. This is not to say that I don't understand the risks of giving up an early industrial career in order to run a household, but I've got to say that I think an enlightened society should find a way to make that a viable option: no matter what your gender is.
