Surrogacy Daddy - 10 - Fatherhood

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by male couples in navigating fatherhood without traditional female support.

Clearly, no one knows how to be a dad. And yet, when a male couple becomes parents, they have to figure it out, because there is no woman in the household forced to fill in the gaps. And this is far from easy when the short length of paternity leave keeps them away from the crib... ---- Sources: ·      Les couilles sur la table, Tuaillon ·      Les enfants vont bien, Démettre ·      Parentalité(s), Bouychou ·      Faites des gosses, Revol ·      Chroniques du sexisme ordinaire, Marine-Pétroline ·      Papatriarcat, Rostein ·      Mansplaining, Messias ·      Fils à Papa(s), Beaugrand ·      Fallait le dire, Emma ·      L’arnaque des nouveaux pères, Jourdain et Daudin, 2024 ·      The Second Shift, Hochschild et Machung, 1989 ·      Espaces et temps de la « production d’enfants », Boulet, 2020 ·      Les étudiant-e-s parents, Gaide, 2020…
