I guess it's about sharing - if the work's all one-sided, it's a burden on the one who does it all, compared with if it was shared more, whatever the working arrangements might be (of course I agree that we shouldn't have to go and do a shitty job at all - I support 16 years leave for both parents myself). But the quote also included the sick and old people too so it wasn't just about childcare arrangements, and women do dominate in those sorts of roles
