I would love to see that kind of thinking encouraged in the U.S. The way it's done here, though, is to sort of shame fathers into doing more (of course, there's an explosion of deadbeat dads), and I wish there was more encouragement from the ground up, but gender roles are still so firmly entrenched here, that people just crap themselves when they come across a genderqueer person who doesn't fit the mold, or a father who stays at home, or anything that doesn't fit the 1950's eastern American way. :/
