Both of my grandmothers were leaders in their own right.
My paternal Grandmother was head of the Horticulture Society in her small town. Grandfather was a farmer. She was also a full-time wife and mother and grandmother.
My maternal Grandmother was Commissioner of the Girl Guides, helped run her local church. I believe she was the financial officer? I would have to check. Grandfather was a machinist but worked at a grocery store for much of my childhood. She was, again, a full-time wife and mother and grandmother.
Both women were beloved by their husbands and families. They were well-taken care of and lead in the areas they cared about. Their leadership roles came after the family had been established.
This is the ideal model in my mind as the best of both worlds is achieved to whatever degree the person is able.
I'm going to have to disagree with this guy. Nobody can have it all, but removing all roles from women outside the home isn't the solution either.
