The Changing Face of Parenting: Gender Versus Capability.
This paper compares and contrasts the two short essays, "I, Too am a Good Parent" by Dorsett Bennett and "Women and the Future of Fatherhood" by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead. The element that are addressed is that of parental roles, where society tends to perceive parental roles in a particular light but the changing social conditions that have manifested in this country have altered the nature of parenting, which in turn has altered the role of the parent, which, finally, have resulted in a conflict between existing perceptions and the new reality of parenting. 3 pgs.
