That's exactly it. Choices must be made, sometimes it's not easy to give up one thing for another, but something always has to give. If you're going to be paying people to do all the things you would do at home, you're not going to get the same level, either. Twice a week is not the same, and not everyone who works can afford to "have a lady come" at all, let alone twice a week. So they are stuck compromising there as well, not doing as good a job. Then there is eldercare... that's a whole other issue that women today face. Not only do they have to care for their children (which many of them had later in life to accommodate their career), but they now have to care for their elderly parents/in-laws/grandparents.

But the choices a person (man or woman) make must be respected, and they aren't. It's hard work running a household; my husband calls me the COO and CFO (often the CTO and CEO as well). He consults me on everything.
