As a new dad, Ive often been struck with horror at dads I see on TV. On the small screen, dads are dolts, dads are idiots. And while it may seem harmless to get a few cheap laughs at dads expense, these characters, and their hilarious incompetence, form the culture backdrop for our societys larger discussion about the roles fathers play in families. The path from Homer Simpson ringing Bart Simpsons neck—his main parental action—to our countrys miserable paternity leave rules might be more direct than we think. - Alexis Madrigal, The Atlantic Whats your take?
