“ Men who change diapers or otherwise deal with the minutiae of parenting should not be considered “sexy” or even unusual — after all, mom does it all the time. When we treat fathers as heroes when they do as little as showing up to the occasional soccer game while ignoring the 24/7 care that so many moms provide, we not only do a disservice to our children and the women who work so hard at mothering, but to fathers as well.
Jessica Valenti, on why we need to start treating fathers like the parenting partners they are. Read her op-ed, “Daddy Issues.” (via thedailyfeed)
AMEN.
