Chapter Chapter 5 in Caregiving Fathers in the Workplace, 2022, pp 81-97 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents existing knowledge regarding social and workplace outcomes when fathers challenge the purported gendered social norms through adjusting their working patterns to permit an active role in the caregiving of their children. Following this, the chapter offers further qualitative data obtained in the ‘Fatherhood Forfeit Study’, using illustrative quotes from semi-structured interviews and vignette-based manager focus groups to demonstrate the ‘Social Mistreatment of Caregiving Fathers’. This chapter focuses in detail on the most widely recurring themes of ‘suspicion’, ‘mockery’, ‘struggling with friendships’, ‘negative judgement’ and being ‘viewed as idle’. As with previous chapters, the data from the ‘Fatherhood Forfeit Study’ will be linked to the existing academic terrain in this area, outlining the ways in which this work both corresponds with and contradicts existing knowledge.
