Abstract

ABSTRACT While each new generation since Latvia regained independence has been slowly edging toward libertarianism and equality, childcare in everyday life is still understood as primarily a woman’s burden, echoing both the intensive mothering discourse of Western neoliberal societies and patriarchal traditions inherited from the Soviet gender system. This article aims to map the saturation of ‘intensive parenting’ discourse and differences in opinion between Latvia’s population and Twitter (X) users by comparing the results of a survey involving both samples.
