I cant speak for all of them but speaking for myself, yes, I think it takes a lot of courage for a man to become a stay-at-home dad. As someone said, "men who change diapers, change the world". That is their choice and I have no conflict with it.

That said, I think it is perfectly normal for a woman to stay home too and take care of her kids and family, if that is what she chooses to do. I don't have a problem with it at all and I certainly don't see it as a waste of her time. Educated and empowered parents who are involved with their children's lives will raise empowered kids and contribute to society in that way. Having a 9-5 job and earning  a salary is not the only way to contribute to the next generation or to society.
