Summary
A new mom’s journey into parenting groups sparked sociologist Kim Price-Glynn’s research into how parents build support networks—and how those networks can quietly reinforce gender norms. From La Leche League to PTOs, these communities offer vital resources but often exclude those outside personal networks, especially women who shoulder most caregiving. Price-Glynn reveals how even dads in babysitting co-ops hesitate to trust other men with their kids, exposing deep-seated stereotypes. Her work calls for reimagining masculinity and care work, urging policy and cultural shifts to make caregiving accessible and valued for everyone.
