I recently read a magazine article entitled A Modern Father’s Dilemma by Glen Martin. It describes the challenges that men face when they do everything they can to help raise a child and their efforts are seen as subpar. The article provided a very interesting perspective that we have grazed over but not looked at in-depth in class. The article emphasizes the plight of the father who craves to be the involved and caregiving dad but cannot properly execute. The article references that more and more men want to be involved in more meaningful ways in their kid’s lives and want to help take pressure off of their wives. However they feel constrained by their jobs, lack of sufficient paternity leave, and social pressures, among other things. Martin
