Should both parents assume equal responsibility in raising a child?

Yes

They should not be having kids if they can't.

If they really cared about the kids, then they would.

In the name of maintaining balance in the universe, of course both parents must! They should assume different- yet equal roles in raising a baby.

The mother must nurture the baby and teach it how to be kind, and the father must protect the baby and teach it to be strong. If there was any imbalance to this system, the baby will grow up to be an underdeveloped individual...

But in modern society, these roles sometimes swap sides, depending on the parents since the barriers of gender roles are shifting.

Side: Yes

Overall, I agree with your sentiment that parents should both have an active role in parenting. That said, your stance on gender norms somewhat confuses me. Why must character instruction by divided at all? Why can't both parents teach compassion and strength? Presumably, if they are developed individuals themselves then they would know how.

Not if the guy/girl is just a sperm/egg donor, but if they were in a relationship and had the child together yes.

Side: No
