There is something wrong with the argument that women need to think of raising kids and staying home as ambitious as anything anyone does including those working 16 hours/day jobs and building a career that rewards proportionally, ie. lawyers at top firms, surgeons etc.

Incidentally this is orthogonal to if men raise the kids or women.

You can’t equate the two. The stigma is not entirely irrational. Raising kids is the default thing humans do, graduating at the top of your law school and becoming a partner at Cravath, Swaine & Moore is not.
