Stay at Home Dads: The Unintentional Feminists

on Thursday, 21 February 2008. Posted in SAHD Stuff

Serious Joeprah?  Yep.  I wrote some serious stuff for once.  If you only read my articles for their humorous content than I would quickly click elsewhere. If you are afraid what guys think about feminist issues than I would also click elsewhere.  Ok, I got that notice out of the way.  Phew!  Here we go:

Issues With Kids and Corporations:

So Cute Being a stay-at-home-dad isn't free from scrutiny but it also comes with praise.  I think for every mom that has given me the cold shoulder there have been at least 3 more that applaud me for what I am doing.  It really has nothing to do with my personal choice but rather a choice that was made by my wife and I years ago based on career potentials and level of benefits.  One thing that I have noticed from staying home is that I have become acutely aware of how women are treated in society from my three daughters to my awesome wife.  Things like clothes choices for toddler girls to Bratz dolls make me look at how society's attention is focused on girls and how they look more than anything else.  Looks, popularity and money are over emphasized and brains, sincerity and hard work are overlooked.
