The Other Glass Ceiling. Fathers Stepping Up, Mothers Letting Go. Divvying up the despair of divorce. Whatever the inequities of marriage, divorce surely must be a great equalizer. After all, divorce affects both the man and the woman, right? There must be equity in that, right? The popular view is that losses are not equitable and that women get hit harder by divorce than men. Is it that men don't suffer as much? Who is to say that his problems are, in balance, less than hers? Well that's not how it is&...

The Other Glass Ceiling: Daddy deception – ‘Who’s your daddy?’
http://www.theotherglassceiling.com/2010/10/daddy-deception-whos-your-daddy.html
The Other Glass Ceiling. Fathers Stepping Up, Mothers Letting Go. Daddy deception – ‘Who’s your daddy? It's a wise child that knows their own father.". And you maybe cuckoo to think it's yours! The potential for a man to conceive without his knowledge is so complete as to defy counting. So what's the big deal? This has been going on for millennia. Some men even find the idea of being a father without responsibilities appealing. Without the institution of marriage, the Homer's of the world have less of a ...

The Other Glass Ceiling: The Burden of Breadwinning
http://www.theotherglassceiling.com/2011/02/burden-of-breadwinning.html
The Other Glass Ceiling. Fathers Stepping Up, Mothers Letting Go. The Burden of Breadwinning. Being a stay-at-home wife is perfectly acceptable, but stay-at-home husbands are assumed to be fathers who are married to very successful women. No such assumptions are made about stay-at-home wives. In other words, men who stay at home look after the kids because their wives “wear the pants” in the family and bring home some serious bacon, whereas women who stay at home do so because they can. Steve Martin angr...

The Other Glass Ceiling: The Toilet Seat Problem – Solved!
http://www.theotherglassceiling.com/2010/11/toilet-seat-problem-solved.html
The Other Glass Ceiling. Fathers Stepping Up, Mothers Letting Go. The Toilet Seat Problem – Solved! I was driving the kids to school one morning, and stuck in the usual weekday morning traffic, when I noticed a billboard featuring a toilet. Yes, a toilet. The headline read "John, for God's sake, can you please learn to put the toilet seat down! I was reminded of this vehemence during a professional "retreat" where 7 male and 2 female colleagues shared a townhouse for the weekend. One of the women cam...

The Other Glass Ceiling: Flying High: sexism, paternalism and sheer idiocracy
http://www.theotherglassceiling.com/2014/05/sexism-paternalism-flying-high-what-are.html
The Other Glass Ceiling. Fathers Stepping Up, Mothers Letting Go. Flying High: sexism, paternalism and sheer idiocracy. What are the dangers to a kid flying alone? Airline policies and parents concerned about allowing unaccompanied minors to be seated next to men make a travesty of both reason and justice. That this fear feeds paternalistic policy and parental concerns is ludicrous. If you send your child unaccompanied on a plane, your child has more chance of dying in a plane crash than being molested!

http://www.theotherglassceiling.com/2010/08/stage-is-set-for-scene.html
The Other Glass Ceiling. Fathers Stepping Up, Mothers Letting Go. The stage is set for a scene. Consider the following scenario. Why do you think Kim is late for this meeting? Is Kim a good parent? More importantly, which sex have you assumed Kim to be as you answer these questions? Did you think that Kim was a man or a woman? In research I conducted, I simply asked these initial questions to encourage people to reveal their assumptions about the sex of Kim. Why is Kim presumed to be a woman? So strictly...
