In this new piece for @uk.theconversation.com today, @profatarrant.bsky.social discusses why blaming absent dads for the crisis of masculinity is much too simplistic and why we need to listen to and hear what dads tell us and involve them in processes of change and transformation bit.ly/4cpRFQd

Blaming absent dads for the crisis of masculinity is too simplistic – many men want to be more involved

The issues boys and men navigate are diverse and messy, linked to socioeconomic inequalities, geography and social history.
