This isn’t breaking news: actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis had a baby. This also isn’t breaking news (to active fathers everywhere): there aren’t nearly enough baby changing stations in public areas and restrooms for men.
Sometimes, the cult of celebrity is needed to move the needle on an issue many on the ground, dads like Scotty Schrier, have already been championing. Schrier is a Tampa area dad blogger who, years ago, started his baby changing station map project calling on individuals to find them (or not) and report back to make life easier for dads everywhere. This week, the internet took notice of this simple miss for men when Ashton Kutcher tweeted his wish for more changing tables in men’s room, so that when he and his daughter Wyatt are out together, he can wipe some poop and refresh her diaper, with some kind of privacy. You know, like moms get.
