yeh sitting around at home all day cooking 2-3 meals per day and caring for a child you presumably care a great deal for would really suck.
I dont think people ever really say that sucks. The problem is that you lose the best years from your career so unless you want to keep rolling out kids you miss out on work life and might regret this a lot later when catching up is difficult (the people who say life experience such as kids matter are retarded, it just shifts your priorities from company to kids. when ppl work overtime to midnight, its not the guys with kids who stay on).

women who get to do this have it really hard.
off the top of my head i can think of a bunch more examples of sexism against men: nannying / receptionist positions / certain uni courses (engineering) give scholarships and benefits to attract women to their faculty.
one of the absolute biggest ones is custody battles over kids, hardly ever will a guy win. also I lost a physics scholarship once because the other candidate was a woman and "it would look better if she won", despite our scores being equal. that kind of sexism is worse, because if you argue against it it makes you a douche.
