Episode: #575 Breaking News: Dads Are Parents Too
Description: Alise, Bryan, and Amanda start by detailing a weekend of NFL football in London. Then they react to Tucker Carlson’s homophobic and misogynistic comments about Pete Buttigieg taking maternity leave. They explain how the comments play into hateful stereotypes about same-sex couples while reinforcing the idea that men are not primary caretakers. They explain why Carlson’s comments -- while unusually offensive -- manifest in more subtle ways every day, and what needs to happen to permanently change how we view men, women, and caregiving.
