How come when a man stays at home to take care of the kids and house he's always called a stay-at-home dad, but when a woman does the same she's often called a homemaker?
I doubt even the most enlightened man in the world would settle for homemaker. Any man having that word attached to him would see his testicles shoot up his throat, out his mouth and looking for a good manly job.
It's just a silly word, and completely inaccurate as well.
I don't mind being called a homemaker, because I do stay at home, but I didn't make my home. Slaves making 2-cents an hour made it in the dirty 30s. They're probably buried in the backyard. Let's acknowledge that.
I'm a homedweller. Or, a stay-at-home-made-by-slaves-for-2-cents-an-hour-and-buried-in-the-backyard dad.
Homemaker is no longer in my vocab.
