Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

According to the functionalist perspective, women assume the majority of household responsibilities along with paid work because it keeps the household running flawlessly and smoothly.

Women consider that they are more than capable of raising children, take care of the house, and have a job. They feel empowered to do this correctly and it has been demonstrated again and again.
