Does anyone have any concerns that they'd like to share with the rest of us? As it stands, the article is almost entirely sourced to directly-supporting reliable sources. I'd be happy to consider that a school of expert thought has been overlooked, but I've removed the "essay" and "original research" tags pending the appearance of injustly-omitted academic research.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on Working parent. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=727920939 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20160304071301/http://www.oecd.org/els/soc/LMF_1_6_Gender_differences_in_employment_outcomes.pdf to http://www.oecd.org/els/soc/LMF_1_6_Gender_differences_in_employment_outcomes.pdf

• Intro sentence is too wordy and needs to be cleaned up grammatically.
• Delete or their own needs from second sentence.
• Final sentence establishes the intent to center on "gender inequality" for working parents.

• Extremely weak reference to television in the 1950's and 60's.
• Entire section is subjective.
• Lacks easily found statistics from the time period that would provide a better representation than comment about television and and extremely opinionated final sentence almost an insult. The entire sentence is unnecessary and weak

:Re: "Men went to work to earn money...The gender inequalities that are reflective" The reference to "gender" inequalities is inappropriate in context of this. In the 1960's and early 70's the discussion was around "work value" inequalities - with people lobbying to have housework treated with the same level of respect as paid work. (Blood, R.O. and D.M. Wolfe (1960), Husbands and Wives: The Dynamics of Married Living, New York:Free Press.) Beldings (talk) 13:46, 7 November 2021 (UTC)beldings {{Currentdate}}

• Last sentence needs a citation.
• I would like a current statistic to back up the hemogenic masculinity statement, perhaps comparing not only to working mothers but also men that don't fit the mold.
• The entire section feels subjective and unsubstantiated. Needs statistical support.

• Entire section needs editing and grammatical revision. Mostly relevant information and interesting comparisons with European.
• Consider breaking up information into time period and region.

• Unnecessary, poorly worded and irrelevant.

• This article should either be titled working mother, or a sub-section should be added shining a light on the working father and possible obstacles/challenges they face.
• Insight on Homosexual parents, either in a relationship or not, would also be an interesting sub-section to research.

• Article flow is confusing, grammatically inconsistent and poorly structured. Working mothers could be broken down better.
• Motherhood Penalty section should come after historic viewpoints.

• Links do not all lead to proper source.
• Content in article missing numerous citations.
• Many sources written in a bias, subjective manner.

Beyond the initial paragraph, this is either a well-written piece about the history of household gender inequalities, or a highly biased agenda-driven piece about the history of working parents. Rather than attempt to re-write it in an appropriately impartial historical construct, it might be easier to simply change the title. Beldings (talk) 14:07, 7 November 2021 (UTC)beldings
