Re: What about guys' choices?

They do it because they want to provide for their families. And so the luxury of choice for women comes at the cost of constricting choice for men.

I disagree 100%. The matter of choice is correlated in a 1:1 ratio. When women didn't have any choice, neither did men. 100 years ago women couldn't be professors and men couldn't be stay-at-home parents. As the choices for women increase, so do the choices for men.

If women don't have the option to make a lot of money, how could men have the choice to not do so? They can't. If some jobs are considered "women's work" and some jobs are considered "men's work", the choices are limited for both genders.
