Reflection:

Without the backing of Anna Coote and Patricia Hewitt at IPPR, this radical document could never have been published. Until that moment, any attempt to value men as the intimate carers of children was seen as synonymous with 'doing down' women (as, indeed, in some circles it still is). IPPR (unable to raise funding on this controversial topic) bravely supported Men & Their Children out of core funding.
