No, gender equality is if both sides can choose to pursue a career. Just flipping that around and defaulting to "male partner cannot work because he has to raise some kids" is inequal as well. In any case, that already assumes it's a male-female couple.

You know what does not involve any gender stereotypes? One partner working and the other staying home with the kids. You don't need to flip it around and default to the male staying home. Many couples choose this for perfectly good reasons.
Like I said before, I agree with you general sentiment that the couple should be able to make that decision.
