You missed my point.
If a woman wants a child, they HAVE to put their career on hold. There is no other choice. We can all pay lip service to labour laws that supposedly equalize things, but the dynamics of the business world just don't bend easily to handle this situation. It has nothing to do with sexism either, it's simply the nature of things.
As was pointed out above, it's tough for a business to handle women getting pregnant, especially if they are understaffed or if the woman is in a key position.
A man doesn't have that problem.
In order for a woman to be successful in the workplace, they need to have a rather large set of met conditions including a man who can stay at home or enough wealth to support day care for at least a decade. It's more work then what a Man needs.
Feminism isn't at fault here. It's given women relative equality and a choice in their life.
And yes, it is socially acceptable for a man to be a stay at home dad.
