I suppose in the context of human history, you might argue to enslave a population based on racial characteristics in order to provide childcare.
For many families, both parents have to work. Most time spent not working or sleeping is spent doing a task simultaneously with childcare. Cleaning, preparing meals, repairing things, laundry, etc. Even for families where one individual shoulders the bulk of the burden this is largely the case.
Equating racism with the inherent biological sexual dimorphism of childbirth and infant care is certainly a take.
Look, if you want to justify your position by just pointing out that it's the way things have historically been done, expect to have it pointed out how ridiculous you are being. Anyway, Equating child care with the inherent biological sexual dimorphism of childbirth is certainly a take.
You conveniently left off “infant care”. Only one gender lactates, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
If you want to talk about “ridiculous”, ignoring reality doesn’t make it any less real, no matter how much you might find it ideologically inconvenient.
