If you want freedom and equality of choice, we should focus on breaking down barriers that stop people from doing what they want, not pushing them to do something different.

Adding incentives, nudging, and valorizing specific actions puts equality of outcome over equality of choice.

We shouldn't push a trend to respect and valorize men who stay home more than those who work. We should push a trend to respect them equally

We are in violent agreement.

I think we are in violent agreement this point.

Where I thought we differed is providing preferential incentives to men who stay home over those who work.

You don't think they should be respected equally?

"Violent agreement" is a phrasing often used to indicate two people were discussing something and appeared to be on opposite sides but eventually realized they want the same thing =)

I'll buy the part about adding incentives.

Nudging and valorizing, however, are inevitable aspects of human life. Abolishing heroism is not realistic (and, honestly, it's a pretty mild incentive anyway).
