The Dad Shift
The Gender Equality Advantage of Fatherhood
From: The Time Has Come
$5.40
In the fifth chapter, Kaufman discusses the advantages of the Gender Equality Revolution can have when it comes to parenting. Arguing that despite having largely transformed the notion of fatherhood from the distant father to a doting dad, motherhood remains a major burden on new mothers. Women still face the larger challenge as motherhood poses a huge economic hit towards them, their careers, and through their unpaid labour such as caring for the children, causing women to still face the greater challenge when it comes to parenting.
