10 Ways Men Get Gender Equality All Wrong

Stay-at-home-parent assumptions
Pew Research Center reports that the number of stay-at-home-dads has increased massively in recent decades. And that’s great – that shows a diminishment of the antiquated idea that the moms should always be the ones to stay at home. But, we should really be eliminating the notion of “should” with any parenting arrangement. So, to new dads out there: pressuring your wife to go to work, when she wants to be a stay-at-home-mom, with phrases like, “Well, aren’t you a feminist?” and “This is the new way of the world” isn’t really right. Every family has to decide what’s best for them, and take it on a case-by-case basis. Having the dad stay home is a wonderful new option that society is more open to, but still, all options should be discussed.
