Where did I say raise? I said primary care giver. Please don't put words into my mouth. Thought you were better than that. I know of a few men who have chose to be SAHD, and or take a day off a week to care for their kids. See how feminism, and the options it has brought, have been a positive impact on your life!?

Okay, primary care giver then. You think men were never primary care givers before feminism? I struggle to see how I have feminism to thank for the opportunity to raise my kids when I was the only parent willing to sacrifice my own plans to do so. In any era, I would have been able to do the same thing. If there's anything to thank feminism for, it's that my ex-wife can pay little to no child support (she only began paying anything within the last 12 months, despite being in a better financial situation than myself and her children for several years), have a history of putting the kids in potentially unsafe situations and still have mediators taking her side and asking for further concessions from me.
The way you talk about people taking days off and jumping in and out of their jobs at will, it's clear that you're from a relatively privileged background. Even if they'd been ahead of their time in their attitudes to gender roles, my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents weren't in a position to sacrifice any of their income while they had young children. For my great-grandfather/grandfather/step-father to ask their boss for a day off every week so that their wife could go out and look for work was just not an option. This is still true in a lot of cases today. Families on a tight budget, doing what makes the most sense for them.
The decision to have the man continuously working (which in the case of low income families probably means going to a shitty underpaid job that you dislike) and the woman take care of the house and children, possibly working part-time or casually, is not necessarily a sexist decision but a practical one that benefits the whole family.
