Alot of people believe stay at home dads to be lazy and ineffective as a men unlike the woman who they see to be a hardworking mom raising kids. Why is that? Society has placed the burden of being the main provider of the family on the man. Why?

Would you say criticism is mainly from their male counterparts or other women?
Not to be an *******, but I honestly couldn't care less about the criticism going toward hard working stay at home dads as well as hard working dads in the labour force. In my opninion, there will be always be people with nothing to do but everything to say about those who are trying hard to make something of themselves and provide for their families. I do believe the criticism comes from both sides however.

A man providing for his family is or being the head of his household is an element that has been established in the institution marriage before biblical times and is a consistent standard in many cultures but gender roles are disappearing with each generation.

I've never met a stay at home dad btw.,

Because men are seen as the one who bring home the bacon. That's the double standard of things when it comes to society standards, including the concept of social feminism. Some people still have that 1950s mindset that the woman should stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the children while the men bring the cash.

However, there will be couples where the woman wants to work while wanting her man to stay home and make sure everything is running smoothly.

Because people are stupid, that's pretty much the reason for every issue a society has. Times fortunately change and people need to stop with stupid stereotypical views on gender and lifestyle. But I do not think only men or only women are to blame for looking down on things that are not stereotypical. Sure, there are lots of men who make fun of those men who stay at home and call them "not manly enough" or similar stupid things. But there are also lots of women who think that way too. It just depends on the individual person.

As for myself, I appreciate and respect a man who stays at home and is raising the child(ren) as much as I do appreciate a woman doing the same thing.

Many people say the same things for stay home moms too, including many of their husbands. So...

Besides a good many stay home dads ( in many traditional societies) still expect their wife to take over the home duties as soon as she returns home even if they do take care of some things in her absence out of necessity. Anything that can be left pending is left for her to do.

Well my dad was stay at home for a few years and we didn't have a problem with it. However, I think biologically men are suppose to be the "hunters" while women are suppose to be the care takers. It's just the fact of life that men are built to hunt.We are stronger and have been blessed with a better sense of direction than most females.

Now for some reason society has decided that roles should not be placed upon people. Like I said my dad was a stay at home which was fine but I do believe roles are important. We can spout all the fairytale we want but at the end of the day if we are to be realistic there are things women and men do a lot better than each other, of course there are exceptions, however in general if you want to be efficent you go with the fact that women are better with kids, as men are not as capable of emotional support while men are often more capable of bringing in the income because of various reasons e.g no pregnancy, superior stamina and physical load resistance.

It is what it is. Just like you can't argue against the fact that every single one of us will die one day, you can't argue that we are all equal.

Shameful! doing the inferior job!

If both were equally suitable for both equally then it wouldn't be nothing.

But men are constructed to be better at handling the providence and women at taking care of household work, babes(if you make any) and generally all that.

That being said if some dude is like "**** society, for my family it's better if I take care of children(assuming it's usually main reason) and the wife continues the monetary part" then that's only good.

Screw all the cucks who do it in the name of just doing it though. Like "we modern family and shit".

Although I do believe when it comes to family, one's attitude should be "**** everything else, my family comes first in 100% priority".
and things like this shouldn't even be a question.

EDIT: Your poll is stupid.

Some idiots believe it's degrading for men. I say it's 2016 and things have changed.
For the worse, yes?
OT: if its really befitting for a man to stay at home and raise kids, nature would have had men conceive and give birth to babies.
It's pretty normal for people to condescend on stay at home dads. It's been a woman's job for as long as man could remember.

I will probably be blatantly bashed for this comment but so be it, I believe women are biting off more than they can chew by removing gender roles. See the men will have to deal ith the fact the women might not have enough energy to have *** after they come home from work, which would build frustration and probably just lead to more single women being parents and so forth. In addition to that, the women who have too much pride to admit they're tired will just burn themselves out and get even more frustrated and think it to take it out on the man. Not only is this gender role swapping dangerous but frankly i don't thik we as a species are ready for it.
