> How it is more often foisted upon women? The social pressure on men to take deadly jobs and to work longer hours is equal to the social pressure on women to choose careers where they can take time off and be with their kids.

So... you're saying the exact same thing. There is a social pressure for the women to be in careers where they are caring for kids, and for men not to be.

So what did you take issue with in the statement above? Just the word "foist," maybe?
