fathering paradoxe

The photograph relates to Coltrane's ideas of fathering in that it suggests a more intimate relationship betwween the father and his offspring. this concept is supported by the author saying "although married fathers report that they value their families over their job,they spend significantly more time in paid work and less time in married work than married mothers,with most men continuing to serve as helpers to their wives, especially for house work and child maintenance activities

  1. I agree with the paradox that you chose related to the picture of the pregnant men. It's a good connection that men should play a more intimate role in their children's lives instead of just only being there financially.

  2. I agree with your response on the idea of fathering relating to the picture. Fathering includes having the responsibilities and doing them, which suggests a more intimate relationship between father and child like guadia points out. Being more intimate with there offspring relates to the picture because the image shows a man being pregant so that is a example of fathers being more intimate with their offspring.
