What social structures penalize men who want to be the primary care giver?
- s1artibartfast 5y agoCompanies with different different policies for non medical birth leave would be one example of a social expectation codified as corporate policy. It is a pretty fringe issue in the United States because many companies that do give non-medical bonding time, give the same to both genders. There is also the hypothetical idea that stay at home dads get a called pussies, but I've never seen it come up.
- fennecfoxy 5y agoLol, stay at home Dads get told they're "baby-sitting". They aren't as "manly" in the eyes of their male peers (though this is changing a little). Hell, until recently it was only women who had access to maternity leave, paternity leave in most countries seems to be quite a new concept.
