It's becoming more acceptable that whomever is the lower-income partner is the one who is the primary caregiver of children (man or woman).

From what I can see, working in STEM academia definitely means you are likely to be the lower-income partner.

Where is it becoming more acceptable? In Germany I read an article about a stay at home dad and their life sounded quite miserable. They couldn't even hang around with other mothers because their husbands became suspicious.
