[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the dads who say they do a lot or more or just as much are great but are missing the point.... The point is not that no men step up fully when it comes to parenting. The point is that for most couples, a combination of unarticulated individual and social expectations, workplace structure, school atructure, you name it ends up producing very traditionally gendered divisions of labor... and many people do t realize how powerful all that can be until it is too late. So good for you, men who do your share. But women who don’t yet have kids: beware. Think about this stuff ahead of time. [/quote] Speak for yourself. I married a capable man, who is a full partner in parenting. And it's not just me. With a few exceptions, most dads in our social circle are active, engaged fathers who share the responsibility/mental load of parenting. [/quote]
