From gender equality and the division of domestic labor in the contemporary American family to double standards in the aging of men and women to the impact of globalization on the everyday lives of American workers, Deutsch analyzes and researches how people react to inequality, how people make sense of it, and how they strive to construct better lives. Some blue-collar couples are taking very nontraditional family roles, for example. Children can have two primary parents. Biology and breastfeeding are not barriers to equal parenting. It's never too late for couples to create new definitions of motherhood, fatherhood and equality-friendly career for both parents.
Equal sharing can start at any point in the family's life.
