I agree, the below "fix" is more suitable:

We'll see, but it's just not on my radar right now and won't be anytime soon.

lol you're right, "stay at home dad" was tongue in cheek But the truth is that I'm just not into how the burden of parenting and childcare falls on the mother, particularly in our culture, and how women are the ones who tend to sacrifice education and career to have families. I know I'll have a kid or two at some point, but I expect my (future) husband to take paternity leave as well when my maternity leave is up, among other things.

That's reasonable if the wifes academic abilities and earning power justify it so.

Those pictures about the lion and it's child are beautiful.

I don't think that has any bearing on whether a woman's "job" is childrearing. My point is that fathers have to see themselves in that role too, but because so many men seem to think the everyday (unpaid) labour of raising children is women's work, they're able to privilege their own career and education over that of the wife.

Like I said, if a woman is such an asset that the cons of sacrificing her academic and career aspirations would outweigh those of being an academic/career woman first and foremost, then yes in such cases it's justified for her to displace childrearing from its primary position. In such a case the husband would have to step up and do many of the things his wife no longer has the time or energy to do.
