这篇文章讨论了为什么在对儿童的责任方面存在持久的性别差异的问题。它认为，理解家庭责任的持续性别划分，特别是在育儿的第一年，需要关注身份、承诺、体现、根深蒂固的社会化或习惯以及围绕性别、养家糊口和关怀的规范性社区假设等问题。基于过去八年对200多名加拿大父亲和40名母亲进行的三项定性研究，作者主张重新思考性别平等和性别差异问题，以及这些问题在育儿的第一年如何在家庭和社区发挥作用。将时间、空间和体现联系在一起，作者还坚持认为，在育儿方面家庭责任的短期潜在差异不一定会导致长期的男女不平等。
This article addresses the question of why there are persistent gender differences in the responsibility for children. It argues that understanding continuing gender divisions of domestic responsibility, particularly in the first year of parenting, requires attending to issues of identity; commitment; embodiment; deeply rooted socialization or habitus; and normative community assumptions around gender, breadwinning, and caring. Rooted in three qualitative research studies conducted over the past eight years with more than two hundred Canadian fathers and forty mothers, the author argues for renewed thinking around issues of gender equality and gender differences and how these play out in domestic and community spaces in that first year of parenting. Bridging together time, space, and embodiment, the author also maintains that short-term potential differences in domestic responsibilities in parenting should not necessarily lead to long-term chronic inequities between women and men.
