Preferences are not identical between men and women. 72% of fathers say they would ideally work full time, only 20% of mothers do [1]. 50% of mothers say they would ideally want to work part time, 29% not work at all. Furthermore, mothers that work full time are less satisfied with their parenting than part-time and non-working mothers. Crucially, 70% of mothers that currently work full time would rather work part time or not at all. Most mothers with full-time careers don't want to be working full time, and this disparity is more than a 2:1 margin. 1. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2007/07/12/fewer-mothers-prefer-full-time-work/ https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2007/07/12/fewer-m...
