Against

• Evidence 1:

  • Counter-agruments in respects to men not being sensitive enough
  • Gettler: fathers testosterone levels drops in order to help a man respond more sensitively
  • Frodi showed videotapes of infants crying and found no difference between response of men and women
• Evidence 2:

  • If mothers were soley responsible, this wouldve been reflected via the law
  • Legal changes support mother and father: shared parental leave “Children and Families Act”
  • culturally biased (enthocentric), countries like Canada have shared parental leave but others base off traditional views

  THEREFORE: emphasising equality of both parents
