Earlier this week, I saw an article going around written by California governor Gavin Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who has become the first “First Partner.” The piece is a well-constructed iteration of something that women have been noticing and talking about for some time: the cultural tendency to treat parenting as “mom’s burden and dad’s adorable hobby.” See: dads getting praised for any time they are seen in public, alone, with a child, while moms are simply scrutinized and criticized for their parenting practices.
