Don’t Call Me a ‘Housewife’…OK! (ツ)

Homeowner.

For anyone that owns a home knows all the work that goes into maintaining it, and those who life within.

Housewife derives from the middle English husewif, which is also the origin of another common noun in English . . .

You hussy, you ! ! !

I say we go with Huzzah, and then it'll sound festive, too.

Plus it sound, vaguely, like it works etymologically.

Huzza, huzza, huzza . . .

(OK, if that works for you . . . i'm feeling kinda funny, though . . . )

That's only 'cause you ate the potato salad that had been outta the fridge for too long, I think.

he is sooooooooooo busted

I call Marco my househusband because he does most of the cooking

Set's quite right on the derivation of the word hussy. But, seriously, does anyone actually still use the word 'housewife' in this day and age? I don't think I've heard it in a couple of decades. (Well, except on reruns of shows like Leave it to Beaver or similar '50s and '60s sitcomes.)

what about woman..whats wrong with that. U only got housewife because u wanted to try and be equals with men and we needed a term for the women who didnt work. Well get back home, make dinner, hang curtains, and do that in which comes natural to you and gain back your term 'woman'

Bullshit. 'Housewife' is a word that was coined long, long before women went out to work outside the home. 'Working mom' -- now, that's a new coinage.

Well, men never requested 'working dad' pre-women revolt. So if u want equality, take the whole package. Lets get back to our grass roots here, stay home and raise the kids. Its what ur inherinently great at and really what u women want to do, deep deep down.

I’m much too liberal for the grassroots scenario, that’s we are two men raising a child and we both work outside of the home.

I'm quite taken with your responses to the fellas here, thinking they're women. Awesomeness.

Listen Missy! Why don't you go knit me a sweater before I slap you in the face!

I presume, then, that you have a graduate degree in psychology? (Even though you can't spell and make up new words e.g. 'inherenently'.) And are you in the habit of addressing a mixed group of men and women in the 2d person plural at most times? Talk about stereotyping!

Listen< i got the red squiggly lines under inherently.. I ignored it because i wanted the get the point out. And thanks for the compliment.. no degree in physc. here. BUT. I do feel strongly about this and have had many convos to liberal women in there senior years.. the verdict is out. If they could do it over again they would have change the whole equality revolution. I will mention what she explained to me.....and its just a side effect of women equality....ready!!
One man at work equals one income.. One income demands a housing market to stay low accordingly... Once the women decided to add an income the housing market used this commonality to increase average housing prices...NOW We have a whole lot of the baby boomers and a little younger divorcing and as well as teaching the younger generations to" hold off">>>"dont get married ">>> "wait">>>> And in the meantime prices of the average home could never be afforded by one man.. So NOW you women have to work to keep up what u started... And the women i meet and know and want to be with are starved for the life at home<<fixin the home front>> taking care of the baby.. and it isnt as easy as it was in the 50s. What to do..?

and stereotypes are there for a reason.. Its simply a mathematical equation of majority. And if its a majority of women i know that feel this way then its ALL unless i meet the uncommonly different. and in that case thats exactly thats what they would be 'different'

Translation: You don't know what the **** you're talking about, but you won't let that stop you from shooting your mouth off. The most glaringly evidence of that, of course, is that you addressed a buch of men as though they werre women.
