Illustration shows laptop saying “way to go, more work for you, father of the year!” And is holy a trophy. Below, the text says, “and fathers continuing along at jobs that don’t acknowledge that they, too, are responsible for children.

Text at the top says, “I see a society that is insistent upon MOTHERS, but only cares for a certain kind of mother.” Below is an illustration of a woman with a long dress and apron, with many kids in tow.

Text only on this page, and it says, “a society that rejects paid family lave, and scoffs at childcare infrastructure, attacks reproductive rights, as if to say”

This page shows an illustration of the United States, with a word bubble saying, “Poor MOTHERS, single mothers, working mothers, trailblazing mothers, you’re on your own, deal with it, it’s your fault for getting pregnant in your working-woman condi

Illustration shows an angry blonde woman, saying “But it’s not their fault!” There are angry angular lines drawn around her.

This page is all text and says, “Would it be different if our society cared about all kinds of mothers? Would it be different with paid leave and affordable childcare and secure reproductive rights? What if we deliberately supported ALL mothers?
