However, the studies to do it's still more men than women want kids, and I think in part that's due to women not being satisfied with the disparity within the home.

Reminds me of when we had the referendum for abortion here in Ireland a few years back, the most vocal people on the against side that I came across personally were men and in particular men who I knew for a fact had been pretty uninvolved in the raising of their own children or didn't have any children. It was very much a stance of wanting babies to be born but obviously someone else(some woman) would have to look after them. - Anecdotal of course but it was my experience at the time
