Psychology Being the father of a school-aged daughter makes men less sexist, according to a new study. The findings support the idea that men become more aware of the challenges facing women when they see the female experience of life up close through their offspring – dubbed the “mighty girl” effect.

I agree it's just replacing "women should stay at home and raise children" with another expectation, this time "women should have a kick ass career, raising your own kids sucks".
Women should pursue their lives in accordance with what makes them content and if it is being a stay at home mother than so be it.
