I'm not here to back up Caitlin. I'm speaking for myself. Let's look at some statistics, and I'm just going to guess because I'm not really worried about being wrong...

Regarding mothers who die in childbirth and a "SUCCESSFUL MAN" being forced to care for his children... there's this idea called NANNY.

Regarding a mother who abandons the family... I'd say MEN do that probably MOSTLY, and RARELY do we see women do that. And again, with a SUCCESSFUL MAN... NANNY.

Regarding a woman that out-earns the husband... how is he FORCED to give up his successful career? Again... NANNY.

Regarding any other exception... can you really say that successful men are hardly EVER "forced" to give up their careers to raise their children? And, those nannies... are almost ALWAYS WOMEN.

I rest my case.
