Professor Natasha Cabrera was interviewed by The Atlantic to discuss the disconnect between 鈥渄ad culture鈥 and fatherhood in modern media. The article dissects colloquial phrases relating to stereotypical dad characteristics, like 鈥渄ad bods鈥 and 鈥渄ad jokes,' and asserts that they do not relate to the actual role fathers play in their children鈥檚 lives.
Cabrera explained that today, more than ever, fathers are more active in the home. 鈥淢ore men feel like they want to do more hands-on parenting鈥 Men want custody of the children. They want to engage with kids. They spend more time reading and doing caregiving,鈥 she explained.
