I view it this way:
For thousand of years men have been the material providers for the family, whereas women have played the crucial and most important role of managing the materials, the home affairs, kids, and family relation to the larger community.
When the society realised the injustices done on women, and the cry for equal rights and opportunities came up, instead of women fighting to safe guard their well endowed duties, they thought that men's duties are far better and respected, so they opted to be like men.
The only time I would want to be like a white man (career wise, personality emulation, accent change, cultural values, walking style, etc) is when I believe that my ways are inferior. If indeed I love myself and my place in the society, I would acquire education to make my ways better, but not opt for another's.
When a woman thinks that she too must be a material provider of the family, even when such providences are not needed, it is an acceptance that her natural duties are inferior thus she needs to feel manly.
For example, if I earn 1000 dollars per day, save 100 for any future uncertainties, save 100 for the kids, save another 100 for family investments, and the rest are spent wisely, why would she need to provide for the family?
Talking about education and job. Many people end up working in places they never trained in. Some of us do not apply any class work in performance of our duties, but still I do not consider my training a waste of time. Education plays an important role in life if it is viewed to be more than a job seeking avenue.
I am going to enroll in courses unrelated to my current job, but I don't ever want to lose the job I have. So, ladies, working by staying at home does not make you a lesser being, no, it makes you a better contributor to the society.
