Why Should the Right Own Parenting and Caretaking?
June 5, 2025 - 22:48
In a thought-provoking piece, Samantha Mann challenges the notion that parenting and caretaking are solely the domain of conservative ideologies. She argues that the left should actively reclaim motherhood and parenting as integral components of their political and social narrative. Mann highlights how the right has often framed these roles, portraying them as traditional values that align with their agenda.
By doing so, they risk marginalizing the diverse experiences and perspectives of families that do not fit into this narrow definition. Mann emphasizes that the left has a rich history of advocating for social justice, equality, and community support, all of which are essential to the discourse on parenting.
She calls for a reimagining of motherhood that embraces inclusivity and challenges stereotypes. In doing so, Mann encourages a broader conversation about the importance of caregiving in shaping society, urging the left to assert its vision of what it means to be a parent in today’s world.
