Тати Мокинберд. «Отцовство — опционально, а материнство — долг»
Summary
This bonus episode features an interview with gender researcher Tati Mockingbird, discussing the systemic absence of fathers in post-Soviet societies. They analyze how patriarchal norms and capitalist structures discourage male involvement in childcare, leaving women to bear the burden of unpaid reproductive labor. The conversation explores the resulting trauma for children, the stigmatization of single mothers, and the need for institutional changes to promote shared parenting responsibilities.
