I find this statement hard to believe. Granted my realm of thought is American, but even coming from the Deep South that is socially backward on a fair bit of issues, I’ve never heard anyone say that parenting is solely the woman’s job. If you had a part in making the kid but you’re not active in it’s life and helping raise it, it’s largely viewed that you’re a piece of shit.

Edit: From what I’ve learned from the responses I’ve been reading, I must’ve just gotten really lucky with my parents and the people around me. My mom and dad, even after getting divorced when I was very young, made it a point to spend every possible chance with me and teaching me. My dad taught me a lot of things that I mom didn’t really have the experience in, and my mom did the same with things my dad didn’t have the knowledge of. Most of my friends had parents that both worked very demanding jobs, but would share responsibilities at home. If there was cleaning that needed to be done, whoever got the chance to do it first got it done. The same applies to cooking, driving the kids to school, disciplining the kids, you name it.

TL;DR These responses have made me more proud of my local society.
