[quote=Anonymous]yikes--lots of trolls spouting off misogyny and misandry here. The point is not that men are bad at families or women are bad at science (!!). The point is that there are historical prejudices and gender roles, and some people have moved beyond those, and some really haven't. So it can be difficult if a woman works a full day, and expect a parenting partner, but that man thinks once he's home from work, he gets to do nothing. This is unfair, but it's also the model a lot of kids grew up with. If you married one of these helpless dads, and you don't want him to be helpless, then you need to communicate to him your expectations and work out a solution. E.g., maybe he does take a few minutes of downtime after work, but takes on bedtime. Maybe you end up cooking but he ends up gardening. WHATEVER. Find a solution that is not a gender war.[/quote]
