    Dear Dr. Touchstone, This weekend I was reading The NY Times and I came across an article titled, Can Fathers Have Postpartum Depression, by Douglas Quenqua. In it, the author discusses that new fathers experience postpartum depression in a different way compared to new mothers. He states that even though new mothers are more likely to have postpartum depression than new fathers, new mothers tend to get more and better help than new fathers. The society creates a stigma that men do not get depressed which causes men less likely to confront the postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is a result of low levels in testosterone as well as fluctuations in other hormones like estradiol and prolactin in men.…

She also brings about the argument that we as a society continue to impose low expectations and a negative message on the male gender.…

    (I’m just kidding) There are countless studies that have been done on the effect of paternal interaction with a child. In one study 22,300 datasets were reviewed and what was discovered was that regular father engagement with a child most likely produces a positive outcome for that child (Sarkadi, Kristiansson, Oberklaid, & Bremberg, 2008). So by allowing fathers to have more time with their children we can predict that those children will be better behaved and more accomplished than those who don’t. Mothers are also in need of support.…

    Society makes it clear that there are specific roles every sex must play to fit into their gendered status quo. It is not taken well when a woman acts fatherly to her young and vice versa, but it is not impossible for non gender specific traits to be adopted when there is only one parent figure in the home. In the film Despicable Me, gender roles are flipped when a villainous scientist fathers three orphan girls. Through analyzing the Bechdel test, the portrayal of men and women stereotypes, and the impact this film may have on its young audience, it can be proven that when placed in the situation, men can gain the nurturing motherly instinct to raise a daughter.…

    Notable Differences The most significant differences I noticed between what was expected and my actual findings surrounded the gender roles concerning child care and level of commitment and stress regarding her kids. According to Arnett (2016), the mother is expected to spend more time with her children and are more affected by child birth than the father. This is due to the maternal instincts that increase during pregnancy and child birth that the father may not understand or share. The father is usually not fully aware of his partner’s emotional state or physical state due to him not experiencing the actual process of pregnancy and child birth.…

    For the controversy project, my group Blue Thunder had the topic, “Are Father’s Really Necessary?” We decided that it is not necessary for the biological father to be present, but someone needs to fill the roles of the father. In our paper we split it into four different sections: Yes that fathers are necessary, no that father’s are not necessary, a study done on lesbian household outcomes, and a real life example involving one of our group members. The big question is, does growing up without a father affect development in children.…

    Cross-cultural research has hypothesized that fathers do not play a huge role in a child’s development because he does not provide the same amount of nurture and is rarely present (Hewlett, 1991; Cole & Bruner 1974). However, further studies have found that the baby bonds to the father at around the same age that the baby bonds to the mother (Hewlett 1991: Lamb1981), however, the child bonds through rough play rather than nurture. Across the United States, studies found that the father had less direct contact with their baby and participated in highly stimulating playtime. The cross cultural consistency of the role fathers play in an infant’s life can be credited to gender roles, compatibility with child care, and the operation of the human family (Hewlett…

    Everyone has a favorite memory with their father; maybe it was him teaching you to ride a bike, or dropping you off at school on your first day of kindergarten. No matter which memory comes to mind, you will always carry it with you through life and reflect on it when you miss your father the most. This message is shared in various forms of popular culture, from television commercials and movies to music and artwork.
