Talking Powerfully To Your Wife, Kids Or Ex with Tracy Poizner
Societal Archetypes of Single Parents, Gender Roles in Media
The discussion explores societal archetypes that often label single mothers as "saints" while viewing divorced fathers as "deadbeats" until proven otherwise. Poizner describes the "Jezebel" stigma often attached to stepmothers and the "hero" narrative given to stepfathers. The conversation touches on how historical gender roles and media portrayals have evolved, sometimes leaving men and boys in a difficult position regarding their identity and societal expectations.
