Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Men Can
Donald Unger · 2010
71/100
👍 Worth It
Unger makes a persuasive, readable case for gender-neutral caregiving through personal experience and a handful of well-chosen family profiles, and the Washington Post endorsement reflects that the argument lands even for skeptical general readers. The advocacy stance is one-sided and the empirical grounding is thin, but as a concise, human-scale argument for equal parenting it does its job well.
