I mean I'm cishet, but I kind of see your point, especially when kids are involved. Some specialisation of parental roles is fine ofc, but then some parents fall into pretty toxic, patriarchal roles, just because that's how they were raised.

I'm talking like the woman taking on virtually all childcare and household labour and logistics (even when working), in such a way that they're contributing much more into the relationship than their partner.
