Episode description

More and more men are staying at home to look after kids while their wives or girlfriends support the family. In this show we explore what that situation means for women's careers, and what these role reversals mean for men. Evidence shows society still doesn't wholly accept stay-at-home fathers - that we still view men as type-A go-getters who aren't 'real men' if they take on a caregiving role. In the US even taking a brief paternity leave can be a fraught issue. But will women ever be truly equal at work until more men become caregivers?
