All the Rage: Mothers, Fathers, and the Myth of Equal Partnership by Darcy Lockman
5.0
A great book for everyone a MUST READ for all straight men.
This was my second time reading this book: first when it came out in hardback a couple years ago and this time as an audiobook. Lockman does a great job exploring how the work of women’s liberation remains unfinished especially around home and family life. While women are empowered to pursue more personal and professional success men in heteronormative relationships have not increased their efforts in child rearing to the same degree.
Lockman is careful to point out that there are immense societal and economic forces involved that no individual solution can completely correct. He most workable option she comes back to is that society itself has to change and soon. Until then, the best thing for parents to do is reduce hours at work and refocus their efforts on parenting.
