But I don't really see those expectations at all these days. If anything women who would naturally gravitate to a more "traditional" role are discouraged. Maybe it's different where you live (or in older generations).
US culture is weird, especially where religion is involved. There can be a lot of pressure in some geographical reasons to "support the family." We've even got a new buzzword -- "Mama Grizzly" -- being promoted nationwide in the current election season by the likes of women like Palin and O'Donnell to describe women who are progressive in some ways but at the core still very traditional, especially about the role of the mother.
Those are older women, though, still; women in their 20's? I'm not sure how they are viewing things. Gen Y and Z are different in how they approach life.
