I haven't gotten push back on those sorts of things, either. However, people still assume that my wife is a stay-at-home mom (she's not) and they talk about women balancing careers and family, but rarely men. The daycare generally doesn't talk to me about my child because they assume that is my wife's area of responsibility.
If you want to make it easier for my wife to pursue a career, you have to make it easier for me to take care of our daughter (without me quitting and becoming a stay-at-home dad). The sort of thing I am talking about is allowing a shorter work week, giving more vacation time, giving family leave that doesn't involve using my sick leave allowance, and so on. Above all, people need to understand that children (usually) have two parents. These things need to become normal.
