View submission: Another way longer paternity leaves help new parents
I find the choice of language to be interesting.
“Mothers … don’t go out of their way to encourage dads to get more involved,”
Generally, this is how we see the dynamic framed. It suggests that fathers need to be encouraged to get involved with their children. What would they do without encouragement?
But in this piece, I read a few statements that feel like this:
”mothers are less likely to try to prevent [fathers] from participating in child care,”
That wording suggests a very different dynamic. That change really jumped out at me.
There's nothing here!
