  • Who is taking care of America's children?

    Who is taking care of America's children?
    Jan 12 2026
    Ask parents of young children how they manage childcare, and chances are you'll hear one word: juggle. In case you didn't know, America has no uniform system of childcare, or even a working patchwork of systems. Parents are on their own in an increasingly challenging environment. Private childcare is scarce and, when available, averages over $1000 per month, per child. Only 12% (!) of parents have access to any form of childcare benefit through an employer, yet studies show that employers who invest in childcare reap phenomenal rewards. Only about 8% of America's children live in extended families - a traditional source of childcare support - compared to about 38% globally. And wait, there's more: one in seven adults is also providing care for another adult! And the vast majority of this unpaid care work falls primarily to women. Let's take a closer look. Resources: Adult caregiving often seen as very meaningful by those who do it, "Among teens who say it's best if one parent focuses on the family, most say it’s better if that parent is the mother", U.S. has world's highest rate of children living in single-parent households | Pew Research Center, Census Bureau Releases New Estimates on America’s Families and Living Arrangements, Childcare Benefits More Than Pay for Themselves, Getting a Job: Is There a Motherhood Penalty? | Gender Action Portal

  • Act Like a Man, Talk Like a Girl: Who Decided That?

    Act Like a Man, Talk Like a Girl: Who Decided That?
    Dec 29 2025

    “Act like a man.” “She talks like a girl.” What does that even mean?

    These “gender boxes” refer to the social constructs that define expectations for women and men. In general, men are expected to be tougher and more dominant, to suppress emotions—except for anger—and to eschew anything considered “feminine.” Women are expected to focus on their appearance, be more submissive, and prioritize social relationships and cohesion.

    These norms are passed down by family, reinforced by society, learned in schools and religious institutions, and reflected in the media.

    But wait—do these boxes REALLY reflect who we are? Or who we want to be? Or are they just stereotypes imposed on us?

    Scott and Ashley deconstruct these boxes—where they come from, why we hardly even see them anymore, and how they might just be pigeonholing us into shoeboxes that don’t quite fit. We ask: do these gender boxes really serve women OR men?

    Stay-at-Home-Dads: The Facts and One Man's Thoughts | Part One
    Dec 12 2025
    Let's turn some tables. Understanding child care today means understanding fathers - what role do they play in 2025? Are we seeing more full-time male caregivers? Why or why not? And what are the real human issues that come up when men step into a non-traditional role.
