to think that if you're planning* on taking Child Benefit away...

...from vulnerable families who don't make use of their local Sure Start centre, you should probably start by not closing down all the Sure Start centres?

*NB I realise this is not a proposed Tory policy, nor something that is ever likely to get past the 'think tank' stage. It is, however, a demonstration of Tory thinking.

I agree. We need to fight that at every turn. My children's father found that female teachers were let home earlier than he was because it was assumed they had primary responsibility for their children when in fact he had to rush home due to our childcare and I earned 10x what he did so I was not the secondary earner.

I just try to challenge sexism when I see it - eg if someone's wife is having a baby ask the man what childcare etc he will be organising.

Using the phrase "working father" for men with children who work is helpful. No reason we should not say that any more than "working mother".
