I agree that the biological burden is asymmetric. But also, in the past, women used to have about dozen children (most of them died at infancy), while today, it is maybe two on average? From this perspective, women today are more similar to men, than to the women of the past.
I am far more likely to hear complaints about not being able to find a partner who will be a stay at home parent than I am to find complaints about wanting a partner to pay for half of the bills.
I suspect that many of them will find neither. Instead, they will probably find a partner who likes their job too much to stay at home, but not enough to pay for half of the bills (and definitely not enough to let your friends stay at home). Because the job is not optimized to pay the bills.
