It does assume that the woman is staying home, although I think that taking care of kids is a full time job equal to what most men do outside of the home, and therefore housework should still be shared. I suppose the whole concept of making it manageable should help that division of labor, but I'm not so sure.
I guess it also depends on what the guy does. Sometimes I have a hard time asking Jeff to do more around the house, when he's constantly doing other work - house maintenance, lumberjacking, building a sandbox for Henry, etc.
Of course, I'm throwing it all out of the window and looking to hire somebody. :-)
