ABSTRACT
In 2013, Denise Balkissoon gave a new twist to the saying, “You’ve come a long way, baby,” a slogan from the 1970s feminist movement. During the 1970s, the slogan was meant to describe how far women had come in gaining rights and opportunities, but Balkissoon’s article focused on how far working men have come in becoming involved fathers, contending that “working dads are the new working moms” (p. 47). A growing number of fathers want to participate in all aspects of their children’s lives, and child development experts as well as employed mothers are expecting men to become more involved fathers.
