In this episode, the trio dives into the curious tradition of dads smoking cigars when a baby is born, and how binary gender norms have shaped the birthing process. We'll examine how childbirth shifted from being a social event teeming with women to the cold, clinical environments of hospitals, perpetuating rigid gender roles that kept fathers out and dictated how women should labor. We’ll discuss the long journey towards inclusive birthing practices, the evolving roles of parents, and how today's diverse families are challenging and reshaping these outdated norms. Tune in for a chat that blends history, gender, and the impact of breaking free from binary traditions in childbirth!
