I noted the article unquestioningly accepted the stereotype that men have less interest in spending time with their children than women.

It strikes me that questioning this assumption would be a very good thing for improving the situation of women in the workplace.

less interest or less opportunity?

From the article:

> But what people without kids may not realize is the extent to which people with kids want their time to be consumed by them. And, on the whole, I’d guess women more so than men.

This is a straight-up sexist assumption about the intrinsic interests of fathers in parenting.

A good example of how people who present themselves as progressive often reinforce tradition and convention at the same time

> improving the situation of women in the workplace

This line reads harshly on women's ability to make critical career decisions. Real advice is from your grandmother: make ye bed and lay in it.

If a person wants children, that's a conscious choice with happiness, sacrifice and burdens garuanteed. There is no fairy dust, wanna-have-it-all solution. I feel like people of all cultures and ages understood this and it's our generation that's perplexed at everything like chimps let loose in a city.
