Couldn't read it all (very long text in very small letters), but I wonder, why not accept that not all jobs are compatible with taking care of your kids? I personally agree that a "work fixed schedule for somebody else" job makes it difficult, that's why I try to freelance. But even if you could somehow change that standard kind of job (instead of doing your own thing or choosing a career that is compatible with your desires), there will always be jobs that are incompatible. For example, off the top of my head: working on an oil rig. I think that demands absence from home for several weeks in a row.
There are probably better examples. What I mean is, don't cry for the world to change, change yourself. Pick a suitable career, and negotiate appropriate terms. And accept that sometimes it just isn't possible.
Also, what does that have to do with women? What about men who want to spend time with their family? That article seems very strange in it's assumptions: on the one hand women should get everything men get, on the other hand they should still be primarily taking care of the family? Maybe you just have to decide...
