Equal Opportunites?

I am one of those people who are all for equal rights for those who deserve equal rights...I mean, if you are a criminal, you don't deserve equal rights, just because you are a different color or not native to my country, that doesn't mean you don't have equal rights... I am also the type that try to go by traditional man works, woman stays at home and keeps house and looks after the children if she doesn't have a job. Now, in your opinion, if you both, (by this I mean both parties of the relationship), have a job, should the woman still have to keep house and care for the children as if she didn't even have a job, like the normal responsibilities of the woman? I have discussed this with many people. A lot of people have said that just because the woman is working, doesn't mean that she doesn't have to keep house and the kids. Now, I think that if both parties have jobs, they should equally share in the responsibilities of kids and house? What do you think?

I'm not a traditional woman really by any means. I do think that both parties, regardless of what they do should share in the responsibilities of keeping the home. However, if the woman does not work but the husband does, then I think she should tend to the home during the day, but I think the husband should still come home and be willing to help her do a few things around the house. I don't think it's fair to push that responsibility onto the woman completely. Just does not seem fair. However, if both have a job of some sort out of the home, both still need to equally share in keeping the house up. I mean, if BOTH people work together, far more will get done than if one person does it all.
