We should all be aware of the stereotypes that exist in our society. One of the most prominent is that of the absent father or male figure of the Caribbean household. Despite this there are many examples of the opposite taking place. For example, the social networking site Facebook plays host to "Caribbean Man" - a space for Caribbean men to talk about who they are, who they want to be and what it means for Caribbean culture. Participants are made up of proud fathers and male role modes of communities in the Caribbean.
The other end of the spectrum is that of Matriarchal/Female lead households. Many simply expect that a single parent family will be lead by a female individual. It is believed that children within such a situation may not have a male role model with which to learn societal responsibilities.
