I have no idea how to accomplish this.
By paying parental leave for both parents, like Iceland.
By ignoring sex, gender and "traditional marriage". No more "gender reveal parties" no more forced gender roles.
We could adopt the Scandinavian "non gender" schools.
We could make it mandatory that everyone learn how to cook, clean, repair electrical sockets, etc.
Let's dismantle the hold big corporations have over people. It is sickening that a lot of people don't have enough income to live comfortably with 1 job.
This is coming purely from anecdotes now, but I've heard from people in those countries that it's not enough to give both parents paternity leave, but to require that they both take leave as well. Otherwise, often, you still get a disparity as many fathers simply choose not to take the leave. I can understand why some might find that iffy, but it's ultimately no more authoritarian than any other mandatory vacation your job might put on you.
