00:00 In New York City,

00:01 I am on the traditional lands

00:03 of the Lenape peoples past and present,

00:05 and honor the people who have steed it through generations.

00:09 In fact,

00:09 the name Manhattan derives from the Nalapi word for island,

00:13 which is Manatee.

00:14 So each time we say

00:16 the name Manhattan,

00:17 remember that we are evoking.

00:19 The memory of the Lenape people.

00:21 So,

00:22 if the unprecedented challenges of the past few years have taught us anything,

00:26 it's been about the importance of collaboration,

00:29 creative ingenuity,

00:30 and unity to drive systemic change,

00:33 which is what we're talking about.

00:35 And when we think about some of those challenges,

00:37 caregiving

00:38 is one of the greatest challenges that impacts all of us on a global and a daily basis.

00:43 So I'm gonna talk about how caregiving

00:46 has played out in TV.

00:48 And how we can work to change the world

00:51 one story at a time.

00:53 So let's see if I will be

00:55 uh successful in uh

00:58 sharing my uh PowerPoint here.

01:00 So just give me uh

01:02 one minute.

01:04 To uh share my screen

01:07 and hopefully pull that up.

01:14 And so,

01:16 you know,

01:17 caring

01:18 caregiving again impacts all of us,

01:20 and when we look at,

01:21 you know,

01:21 who is a caregiver,

01:23 uh,

01:24 caregiving

01:25 can,

01:25 uh,

01:26 range,

01:27 um,

01:27 from

01:28 taking care of children,

01:29 you know,

01:30 taking care,

01:31 you know,

01:31 of,

01:31 of a loved one,

01:33 someone who may be,

01:34 you know,

01:35 disabled,

01:35 and what we did find is that

01:38 Uh,

01:39 80% of the caregivers are,

01:41 you know,

01:42 female.

01:42 So the name of the study is

01:44 how TV does and does not get,

01:46 uh,

01:46 caregiving and men's caregiving correctly.

01:50 So,

01:51 why do we care about this?

01:53 Because

01:54 popular media,

01:55 as you've heard from all of our presenters,

01:58 can reinforce

01:59 what is normalized,

02:01 can give us social scripts,

02:02 and also educate us on,

02:05 on what to do,

02:06 or who's doing,

02:07 you know,

02:07 what?

02:08 OK,

02:08 you have a new baby,

02:09 well,

02:09 now what?

02:10 What a lot of people are learning how to take care of a baby,

02:13 uh,

02:13 through what they see,

02:15 you know,

02:15 on TV and what we do see evolving is

02:19 This evolution from a

02:21 hetero

02:22 hetero uh normative breadwinner model like Ward Cleaver,

02:26 all the way to

02:28 uh male caregivers being nannies or

02:31 stereotypical,

02:33 uh,

02:34 views like,

02:35 you know,

02:35 Uncle Phil.

02:36 And so,

02:37 But the reality

02:39 of caregiving is that 80%

02:42 of the caregiving is done,

02:43 you know,

02:43 by women,

02:45 uh,

02:45 60% of women say that they do much more,

02:48 um,

02:49 you know,

02:50 80%,

02:50 88% of parents agree that,

02:53 hey,

02:53 it should be equal,

02:54 but it's not,

02:56 and

02:56 actually fathers say,

02:58 you know what,

02:59 I really want to be the dad that I,

03:01 I want to be,

03:02 and,

03:03 you know,

03:03 only a quarter,

03:04 you know,

03:04 25% of the fathers say,

03:07 um,

03:07 they do say that there's a lot of barriers,

03:10 uh,

03:10 to what gets in the way.

03:11 So there were three primary questions we wanted to ask.

03:15 Who is a caregiver?

03:16 Do these portrayals reinforce,

03:18 reinforce or subvert

03:21 common stereotypes,

03:22 and our male caregivers on TV depicted

03:25 uh with tropes.

03:26 And so we looked at

03:28 From 2013

03:30 to 2020,

03:31 the top 10 shows

03:34 uh per year,

03:35 uh,

03:36 in that time period,

03:37 and

03:38 actually it was about

03:40 4000 characters,

03:42 but out of all those characters,

03:44 only about 1000 were actually portrayed as caregivers.

03:48 And so,

03:48 you know,

03:49 who is a caregiver on popular

03:51 scripted TV?

03:53 Uh,

03:54 so it's mostly women,

03:56 um,

03:56 it's mostly white.

03:59 Um,

03:59 and we do see,

04:00 you know,

04:00 some,

04:01 some changes there.

04:02 So,

04:03 over time,

04:04 uh,

04:04 we're seeing a change,

04:05 but it is still pretty much so dominated,

04:08 you know,

04:09 by,

04:09 uh,

04:10 by women,

04:11 um,

04:11 and then we do see an increase in,

04:14 uh,

04:15 more caregivers,

04:16 um,

04:16 of color.

04:18 Uh,

04:19 and again,

04:20 when you look at,

04:22 um,

04:23 you know,

04:23 this percentage,

04:25 um,

04:25 you could see that we are seeing some change and increases when it comes to,

04:30 uh,

04:30 people of color

04:31 as

04:33 Caregivers.

04:33 So

04:34 these are some of the,

04:35 you know,

04:36 core questions that we wanted to ask,

04:39 um,

04:39 you know,

04:40 female caregivers,

04:41 and this is the make-believe,

04:43 do 2 out of 3 caregiving casts,

04:46 um,

04:46 we are seeing

04:48 male,

04:49 uh,

04:49 characters do more,

04:51 uh,

04:52 caregiving,

04:53 but it's relegated to stereotypically male tasks such as

04:57 grilling or

04:59 fixing the sink.

05:00 Um,

05:00 female caregivers are more likely to be showing

05:03 more domestic things like laundry and cooking,

05:06 and female caregivers are more likely to show

05:09 compassion,

05:09 um,

05:10 and empathy.

05:11 And again,

05:12 you can see that the caregiving tasks

05:15 are very

05:17 gendered in terms of feminized housework,

05:19 um,

05:20 masculine housework,

05:22 um,

05:22 feminized housework

05:23 being the cooking and the cleaning,

05:25 and masculinized

05:26 house

05:27 uh work being more,

05:29 you know,

05:30 uh,

05:30 cleaning the yard or the grill,

05:32 you know,

05:33 etc.

05:34 Um,

05:35 in terms of,

05:36 you know,

05:37 uh,

05:37 moving over time.

05:39 Um,

05:40 you do see that this,

05:41 it started out being a little more equal,

05:44 but then,

05:45 In recent times,

05:46 it's become very,

05:47 very gendered

05:48 in terms of uh feminized

05:50 uh caretaking versus

05:52 uh masculine uh care caretaking.

05:56 Now,

05:56 when it comes to this,

05:58 um,

05:59 compassion,

06:00 uh,

06:00 it's more likely for the female characters to show

06:04 emotional connection,

06:05 love and affection,

06:06 and support,

06:07 um,

06:08 and encouragement.

06:10 Um,

06:10 and then in terms of there are some tropes

06:13 that we looked at

06:15 in terms of male care caregivers,

06:17 which I'll explain.

06:18 There's the apprentice dad,

06:19 there's the absentee dad,

06:21 and there's kind of the abusive dad,

06:23 um,

06:24 and that is what we've seen,

06:25 and

06:26 the apprentice dad is,

06:28 he's

06:28 Bumbling idiot.

06:29 He's got to be shown how to do everything.

06:31 He doesn't know how to do a thing.

06:33 We don't see that many depictions,

06:36 you know,

06:36 of violence,

06:37 uh,

06:38 but when we do,

06:39 it's

06:39 4 times more likely that it is from a male,

06:43 um,

06:43 caregiver.

06:44 And again,

06:45 this just shows you,

06:46 um,

06:47 Uh,

06:48 in terms of incompetence,

06:49 in terms of instructed by the partner where they can't even pack a sandwich

06:53 in a sandwich bag,

06:54 and then logistics is

06:56 who's doing the pickup from school,

06:58 who's doing the,

06:59 the meal planning,

07:00 and again,

07:00 you see

07:01 where this is very heavily

07:03 um

07:04 reliant on the female um caregivers,

07:07 um,

07:07 and again you could see also in terms of emotionally abusive.

07:11 Physically abusive.

07:13 Um,

07:14 when we say violent protector,

07:15 it's,

07:16 they use it as comic relief,

07:17 like

07:18 the,

07:18 you know,

07:19 your daughter's

07:20 date shows up to take her out,

07:22 and the father's there with a shotgun,

07:24 you know,

07:24 at the front door.

07:25 So that's what we mean by

07:27 kind of a violent,

07:28 um,

07:28 protector.

07:29 And so,

07:30 you know,

07:30 in short,

07:31 and I just wanted to say this study is on our website.

07:33 I don't know if somebody can throw

07:35 A link to our website in the chat,

07:37 www.cjane.org.

07:40 But essentially,

07:41 um,

07:42 although it may be funny

07:44 to show,

07:45 uh,

07:45 a male caregiver as,

07:47 uh,

07:47 an apprentice dad,

07:49 um,

07:50 but I think we need to show that,

07:52 uh,

07:53 equally,

07:53 you know,

07:54 for all types,

07:55 you know,

07:55 of caregivers,

07:56 uh,

07:56 diversify male caregivers,

07:59 um.

08:00 And then also,

08:01 um,

08:01 when male caregivers struggle,

08:03 show them seeking social support,

08:05 and I think it's really important that we could show these caregivers,

08:08 um,

08:09 accessing resources that they have

08:11 available,

08:12 you know,

08:12 to them,

08:13 um.

08:14 You know,

08:15 most households today are dual income,

08:17 so

08:18 let's disrupt this

08:20 male breadwinner,

08:21 you know,

08:21 model,

08:22 um,

08:22 and last but not least,

08:24 you know,

08:24 caregiving can be invisible,

08:26 and so we need to make it visible because it is such a critical

08:30 part of our life.

08:31 So I will,

08:32 uh,

08:32 stop sharing my screen,

08:34 and thank you very much.
