I agree with you, but shall we change that to "parenthood"? Since we might as well push back against the stigma against the father being the one who raises the children instead of pursuing a career.

As a stay-at-home homeschooling father, I experienced that stigma very briefly a decade ago, but it seemed to die a sudden death shortly after 2010. I've felt nothing but encouraged since. I think it's something that you'd expect from the outside, but doesn't really show up in practice.

As someone who quit my job (back in Feb 2020, of all times...) to spend more time with my then-unborn daughter, I agree with you 100%.
