Cuando Mark Zuckerberg se toma la baja por paternidad, el mundo entero lo nota. Si bien aplaudimos su capacidad para "abrir los ojos", no solemos hablar del apoyo que un padre, o cualquier progenitor, necesita para hacerlo (y de cuántos no lo tienen).
Para muchos padres estadounidenses, aún existe una desconexión entre lo que desean y lo que creen poder hacer. Quizás deseen ser compañeros en igualdad de condiciones, compartir las alegrías y responsabilidades de la crianza con su pareja, pero una triple combinación de normas de género anticuadas, una cultura laboral anquilosada y la falta de políticas que favorezcan a la familia descartan esa opción.

But elsewhere, in our court system, custody wars continue, and state child-welfare systems spend millions getting nonresident fathers to pay child support. That leads to a lot of strong opinions about fathers and modern fatherhood. But what’s really happening?
