I, too, want to live in such a society. That said, I also don't want to live in a society where I have to stay home and do housework. I'd rather live in a society where a couple shares the household burdens, including housework, childcare, and outside work to pay bills - or have the choice to be independent of the other sex or have the choice to work outside the home and the man stays home to do that work.
In that world, both sexes have to work. In our current times, folks have to work full time (whatever full time is). 40 hours a week it is until we can get that norm reduced, but that is a different issue entirely.
... even though it boggles the mind. You'd think if everyone works we could all work less. But reality seems to say otherwise right now.
