Ashton Kutcher calls for changing tables in public men's restrooms
"There are NEVER diaper changing stations in mens public restrooms. The first public men's room that I go into that has one gets a free shout out on my FB page! #BeTheChange"
After caring for his 5-month-old daughter, Ashton

Kutcher headed a new campaign to help close gender stereotypes about fathers. He posted on his Facebook page,
The hashtag invited a plethora of support for the cause on Twitter, and users applauded Kutcher for drawing attention to a neglected issue about fatherhood. His Facebook post received more than 200,000 likes since he posted it on March 8.
Previous stereotypes of fathers — that they are lazy, apathetic and generally incapable of caring for their babies or changing diapers — have continually been challenged over the years. Earlier this year, Super Bowl ads showed fathers
as contributing figures rather than spectators. One such advertisement by Dove depicted children leaping into their fathers' arms and calling for their daddies to push them on swings, lift them from monkey bars, brush their hair or cuddle them. Text on the screen read,
"What makes a man stronger?
Showing that he cares."
men's rooms with changing tables or businesses with them to reply and let him know. Many Facebook users shared restaurants and businesses in their areas with men's room changing tables, but in general, people were applauding his call to action.
This type of stand for fathers seems to be a growing one as the number of fathers who stay at home with their children has nearly doubled since 1989, according to PEW Research. The 2012 study showed that 16 percent of stay-at-home parents were fathers.
Heck, I'll admit rewatching the ad makes my eyes well up.
Kutcher's initial post urged individuals who have seen
Time for men to start owning responsibility for their kids. Well done, Ashton!!" one Facebook user wrote.
A single post from the "That 70's Show" star has brought a buried issue to the surface. As social media and ad campaigns depict fathers in a more flattering light, it's good to see this progressive conversation taking hold. Now, we'll wait to see the effects.

Verdict in Thicke/Pharrell's 'Blurred Lines' copyright case likely to alter music business
Edited by Callie Byrnes
LOS ANGELES — A verdict saying Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke copied Marvin Gaye's music to create their hit song "Blurred Lines" could ripple across the music industry, potentially changing how artists work and opening the door to new copyright claims.
An eight-person jury determined Tuesday that Williams and Thickie copied elements of Gaye's 1977 hit "Got to Give It Up" and ordered the pair to pay nearly $7.4 million to the late R&B legend's three children.
Millions more in potential future profits for "Blurred Lines" are now also at stake.
While the verdict affects Thicke and Williams' finances in the short term, artists and music industry lawyers will likely face new constraints as they sort through the verdict implications.
The Gaye family will seek an injunction against the song, which will give them leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions such as songwriting credit, although Tuesday's verdict could face years of appeals.
Howard King, lead attorney for Thicke and Williams, said in closing arguments that a verdict for the Gaye family would have a chilling effect on musicians trying to evoke an era or create an homage to the sound of earlier artists. Williams contended during the trial that he was only trying to mimic the "feel" of Gaye's late 1970s music but insisted he did not use elements of his idid's work.
Music copyright trials are rare, but allegations that a song copies another artist's work are common. Singers Sam Smith and Tom Petty recently reached an agreement that conferred songwriting credit to Petty on Smith's song, "Stay With
"Today's successful verdict, with the odds more than stacked against the Marvii Gaye estate, could redefine what copyright infringement means for recording artists," said Glen Rothstein, an intellectual property attorney.
He said the decision sets a precedent because "paying homage to musical influences was an acceptable, and indeed commonplace way of conducting business and even showing respect for one's musical idols, (but) after today, doubt has been cast on where the line will be drawn for copyright infringement purposes."
Me," which resembled Petty's hit "I Won't Back Down."
In the "Blurred Lines" case, the Gaye family will seek an injunction against the song, giving them leverage to negotiate for royalties and other concessions such as songwriting credits.
Nona Gaye, the late singer's daughter, wept as the verdict was read and later told reporters: "Right now, I feel free. Free from ... Pharrell Williams' and Robin Thicke's chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told."
Larry Iser, an intellectual property lawyer who has represented numerous musicians such as Jackson Browne and David Byrne in music copyright cases, criticized the verdict.
"Although Gaye was the Prince of Soul, he didn't own a copyright to the genre, and Thicke and Williams' homage to the feel of Marvin Gaye is not infringing." Iser said.
King, the pair's lawyer, said record labels are going to become more reluctant to release music that's similar to other works — an assertion disputed by Richard Busch,
the lead attorney for the Gaye family.
"While Mr. Williams' lawyer suggested in his closing argument that the world would come to an end, and music would cease to exist if they were found liable, I still see the sun shining." Busch said. "The music industry will go on."
So, too, will Williams' career,
said Joe Levy, editor-at-large at
Billboard.
"For Pharrell, the story moves on," he said. "It will move on quickly."
Williams, 41, is a seventime Grammy Award winner whose songs he's performed or produced have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. His hit "Happy" has helped make him a household name, as has his work as a judge on NBC's music competition show, "The Voice."
"It's much to Pharrell's advantage that he is at a high point in his career." Levy
Thicke's career may have more issues as a result of Tuesday's verdict — which came on his 38th birthday — because "Blurred Lines" was a global hit and his follow-up effort failed to connect with audiences, Levy said. Despite
the song's popularity, feminists have criticized it, saying it promotes rape culture.
While the verdict will likely make musicians and record labels more cautious, it won't stop artists from using others' works as inspiration, Levy said.
Despite the decision, he predicted that "Blurred Lines" will continue to make plenty of money for Williams, Thicke and, in all likelihood, the Gaye family.
"People aren't going to stop playing it," Levy said. "It's not just going to disappear."
