Fathering Paradoxes
"Fathering paradoxes contadictions and dilemas" by Scott coltrain speaks about how men and women are shifting roles in the households. The reason that the photograph of "future plan #2," is because in the photo, there are 2 pregnate men in the picture. this shows that the fathers are becoming to become more nerturing just as Coltrain said ""Although women have been the primary caretakers of young children in all cultures, fathers' participation in the children rearing has varied fronm virtually no direct involvement to active participation in all aspects of children routine care" (Coltrain 433). Both the picture are and the article show that fathers are now taking a more active role in raising children while the mother goes out and shows what it takes to support a family with their jobs.

ReplyDeleteMike your post is alot simliar to my post. You are absolutely correct about Coltrane article "Fatherine Paradoxes Contradictions and Dilemmas,", because Coltrane describes men changing roles with women. Where men become the parent who look after their children. While, the mom changes roles with the father when they decide to go out and work. The paradox between both men and women come into affect instantly, because men aren't expect to do jobs like changing diapers or bandaging children injuries. Women aren't expect to work long hours and provide money for the family, because this is expect as the father job. Overall, I agree 100% with your point.
