5 Things We Should Stop Telling Our Boys if We Want to Raise Feminist Men

Recently, a Facebook post went viral, comparing a Boys’ Life magazine cover to a Girls’ Life cover side by side.

Cómo el Sr. Mamá se convirtió en un padre que se queda en casa

My colleague had a baby and her husband decided to take a 12-month leave from his job to stay home with the newborn. We, her co-workers, were all surprised, if not shocked. That was nearly 20 years ago. We likely would have been as surprised today. And we wouldn’t have been alone in our American reaction, as we are one of a handful of countries without mandatory paid leave for either parent.
