Most women only marry up. It's time for women to consider the alternative of marrying down.
Otherwise, an anti-feminist leader like this one may be elected.

The vast majority of women won’t marry down. A lot of them say they would, but deep down they don’t want to. And a lot of the ones who do don’t respect their husbands.

Sure, there are working mums married to stay at home dads, and they are satisfied with the arrangement. But in those situations, the mother runs a small business, or is inheriting a small business from her family. She is passionate about the business, so her husband staying at home is a compromise. Or the father cannot work due to workplace injury, declining health, or getting let go from work. In this scenario, him staying at home was not intended. His wife works and she doesn’t blame him because she understands it’s not his fault, but he was working when they got married. The stay-at-home dad arrangement is, in nearly all cases, a backup plan if other plans fail.

very true that stay at home dads are almost always back up plans

And a lot of stay at home dads who can physically work take courses at night or during the day while their children are in school. They don’t want to be stay at home dads forever.
