For thousands of years women were caretakers and nurturers, I think it might take generations to overcome the desire to cater to others. This is especially difficult for women in supervisory positions.
Just because women are earning the same as men, doesn't mean that the workload is the same. Most women are still doing the majority of work around the house, especially if there are children involved.
With the entrance of women into the workplace, their appearance is really important. Where most men can jump out of bed, shower and possibly be on the road in minutes, it takes much longer for women, who are still made to wear masks in public. Just this week there was a story of a waitress who was fired for not donning the correct makeup. This along with all of the other commitments cuts deeply into todays woman's leisure time.
Just my observations, I for one would much rather be married to a partner that brings more to the table than June Cleaver

Samaritan's Stories
And I don't think it just comes down to caretaking or nurturing. I think, in general, society has devalued the things that make women special. And the sad thing is it's usually the feminists who have done that. They spend so much time telling women that they can be just like men, that they ignore the fact that women have some pretty special qualities because they are women.
I could write heaps on this, but I'll better stop it there. As it is, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get heavily criticised just for those comments.
