Someone should tell Eric Swalwell, U.S. Representative from California, to knock off the diaper stuff. Did you catch what he said during his closing statement at the Democratic presidential debate?
“When I'm not changing diapers, I'm changing Washington,” Swalwell said smugly.
That “Look at me, I'm awesome—I can do diapers!” shtick reminds me of what I'm hearing from women about the “woke” dads in their offices. Their male colleagues often make a big show about their parenting duties, and women are sick of it. “It's like they expect to be congratulated,” says a female in-house counsel.
