He shows how men negotiate the prevailing cultural values about fatherhood, marriage, employment, and home ownership that he conceptualizes as a ""package deal."" Townsend identifies the conflicts and contradictions within the gendered expectations of men and fathers, and analyzes the social and economic contexts that make emotionally involved fathering an elusive ideal.Drawing on the lives and life stories of a group of men in their late forties who graduated from 606 $aFatherhood 606 $aFatherhood -- United States 606 $aFathers 606 $aMen -- United States 606 $aMiddle aged men 606 $aSex role -- United States 606 $aGender & Ethnic Studies$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aGender Studies & Sexuality$2HILCC 615 4$aFatherhood. 615 4$aFatherhood -- United States. 615 4$aFathers. 615 4$aMen -- United States. 615 4$aMiddle aged men. 615 4$aSex role -- United States. 615 7$aGender & Ethnic Studies 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aGender Studies & Sexuality 676 $a305.31/0973 676 $a306.87420973 700 $aTownsend$b Nicholas$01659364 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820077403321 996 $aPackage Deal$94013964 997 $aUNINA
