Synopsis

Fatherhood today is far different from previous generations. Stay-at-home dads are increasingly common, and growing numbers of men are working part-time or flextime schedules to spend more time with their children. Dads today are more emotionally and physically involved on the home front. They are "all in" and—like mothers—they are struggling with work-life balance and doing it all.



Journalist and "dad columnist" Josh Levs explains that despite these unprecedented changes, our laws, corporate policies, and gender-based expectations in the workplace remain rigid. They are preventing both women and men from living out the equality we believe in—and hurting businesses in the process. Women have done a great job of speaking out about this, Levs—whose fight for parental leave made front page news across the country—argues. It's now time for men to join in.



Combining Levs' personal experiences with investigative reporting and frank conversations with fathers about everything from work life to money to sex, All In busts popular myths, lays out facts, uncovers the forces holding all of us back, and shows how we can all join together to change them.

From ridiculously short paternity leaves to sexist narratives framing fathers as 'doofus', let alone a fearmongering of men which has taken hold recently and which has badly impacted dads as collateral damages (e.g. those fighting in family courts to be more involved in the lives of their children b......more

relevant to how we view men and are stuck in stereotypes. Nothing can change for women or for children unless we band together to move our society towards actual equality without demeaning genders by sticking to biases.......more

Goodreads review by Nate on October 29, 2021

The book is broken up into different segments. The first is the author's personal story to seek out equality in the workplace when it comes to paid time off for dads of newborns and even newly adopted children. His whole premise is that the Dad landscape is changing in our culture and companies need......more
