Women are no longer reliant on men as the sole earners of the family because we now have financial freedom and can fulfill our own needs. I don't see how a nuclear family structure benefits a woman at all. Instead, I believe that it disadvantages her; a woman has to pay a hefty price for choosing to have kids, it puts her career on the backburner, contributes to the wage gap and piles on additional responsibilities. Working a 9-5 and looking after a young child is time consuming.

Realistically, even the best men only help so much with child-rearing and most of the burden ends up falling on the woman who has to raise the kid for 18 years and in the process, neglect her own sleep, needs and ambitions. Men seldom have to make such sacrifices, their careers are almost never deterred by having children instead, they get to parade around their kids like trophies. Their body is not ruined by loose skin, pregnancy scars or stretch marks. They don't suffer the mental torture of postpartum depression nor do they spend as many sleepless nights as the mothers.
