So the @washingtonpost ‘s @AmandaBecker and @19thnews publish a hit job on men shirking childcare duties and profile two (2) women whose husbands are described as sharing at least *half* the kid duty!!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face"> 1/x https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/05/20/pandemic-upended-child-care-it-could-be-devastating-working-women/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...

Here’s @MK_McMaster ‘s husband taking half the work day 2/x

And @ohevie ‘s husband taking
“staggered shifts” and then the full day when the school year ends 3/x

I’m not saying childcare isn’t a problem. It’s a huge problem.

I’m not saying women aren’t doing their part. Of course they are.

I’m saying: how can u argue there’s a disproportionate impact on women using only 2 anecdotes that don’t support the thesis??? 4/x

This quarantine is exposing lots of great questions about how people balance work and home. Shame @AmandaBecker peddles outdated CW abt absentee dads using zero data. 5/5
