or men will finally step up.

And do what? They have precisely the dilemma described in the article - they need to send their kids to school and they need to go back to work - and the article did not propose any solutions.

It is idiotic to make this a men vs women problem, because it isn’t.[/quote]

Women disproportionally do the vast bulk of childcare in this country. [/quote]

WHAT DO YOU WANT MEN TO DO?[/quote]

More childcare? Isn't that obvious? What are you missing here?[/quote]

What kind of childcare? Provided by who? Why is that a “men step up” issue? What do you want me, a man who is not the CEO and has no great power or control in my company, to step up and do?[/quote]

Make sure that your wife isn't taking on the bulk of childcare instead of you. Advocate to your employer that you need a flexible schedule because of childcare needs.[/quote]
