Maybe she just has some posey affectation so we will all go "ahhh" isn't life rough whereas he isn't allowed to do that.

If mothers are still carrying far too much of the load, (and being told they still must lean on the leadership of men -- great observation, Jason!) the notion that it's okay to marginalize (dad as mere sperm donor) and type-cast fathers (defining them merely by what they do for a living) should be a concern, also.</em> I’m enjoying the fact that three men have jumped in first here, when to be honest I expected the women.

The executive male is the leader, thus providing the foundation of the picture offering support to his spouse who is thus "leaning" on him. In addition, she is a woman with several roles rather than a female attorney, showing her diversity (other than race) and providing a window into their family life by showing she has children, etc. Well, it appears that the role of the sexes is being defined.
