By turns informative and irreverent this book takes a new approach
to tackling gender inequality in the home and at work, focusing on
dads being entitled to a bigger role in parenting. It presents the
barriers men face to being active dads - from sexist security
guards to Tory MPs and even Homer Simpson - and, crucially, it
outlines how to tackle them for the good of men, women and
children. In Dads Don't Babysit two dads outline some of the
biggest problems facing families that want dad to get his turn at
raising the kids, and offer a range of solutions in a manifesto for
parents and policy makers to consider and hopefully adopt. The book
tackles topics such as the gender pay gap, lack of a strong
parental leave system in the UK, the financial penalties of taking
time off to look after children and the limiting expectations
parents find colleagues, relatives and the media have on mums and
dads. The authors draw on their own experience of parenting and
that of others. Interviews are backed up by extensive research so
that the book presents these important issues in an accessible,
personal and at times light-hearted way that the apolitical reader
will be able to relate to. There is a lively and growing argument
about men's role in the 21st century and this book offers a unique
perspective, giving a feminist argument by men offering solutions
to benefit everyone.
