I'm definately for women taking on careers, and not feeling obligated to breed, but trying to make men carry the children doesn't make any sense at all. It would probably be easier to raise them in tubes. To be honest, I think that's a better idea anyway. It would remove part of the biological parent-child attachment some lust for and make adopted kids and biological kids more equal in the eyes. This is why women desire pregnancy rather than adoption, which men do not experience. Both sexes also experience the desire to see themselves in their children, as it speaks for their potential and is an opportunity to learn about their own genetic predispositions, as well as their partners, and how they interact.

In most western countries women have complete reproductive freedom, they're may be cultural/familial pressure tugging people in certain directions but those directions are by no means mandatory.
