We're still seeing a glaring double standard.
The males role? Provider? Now who's outdated? I could have easily been a stay at home dad, and then what? Would I be in defiance of nature?

I'm not going to be pedantic and spell this shit out for you. Yes, it's a double standard, one that's imposed by biology and social contract. I understand the sentiment you're trying to convey, but it's wrong. A man has a choice to give the sperm to a woman, and she has the choice of what to do with a fertilized egg. Should she carry it to term, the man's responsible for the child as a provider. Our socieconomic climate has certainly allowed for role reversals to occur but it's still the man's legal and social duty to provide for his kid.
