Hating on the 3-Hour Mom—We'd Never Do This to a Man
About this episode
The episode discusses the backlash against a female executive for spending limited time with her children and the double standards in parenting expectations between mothers and fathers.
A Wall Street Journal headline about a powerful female executive spending “only” three hours a weekend with her kids turned into an internet blood sports. So we unpack why. In this episode, we get into the outrage around Skims executive Emma Grede, the impossible standards put on mothers, and why no one ever asks dads to account for every minute they spend parenting.
