The podcast discusses the societal assumptions surrounding caregiving skills, including the lack of normalization for men. They explore the concept of invisible labor and how perceptions regarding men's involvement in household tasks are shifting.

They draw parallels to 'The Secret Life of Home Economics' and urge for inclusivity and breaking societal expectations.
