House Spouse

In a couple of generations, I'm hoping that we'll finally have a gender-neutral term for "housewife".

I know, I know. We already have the term "house husband". But the terms "housewife" and "house husband" carry different connotations and cultural baggage. "Housewife" implies old-fashioned and put-upon, whereas "house husband" connotes something hip, modern, and cool because of its re-orientation of gender stereotypes. Except that it of course reinforces the stereotyes, since what makes a house husband so novel is that men are still usually not the ones who stay at home and raise the kids.

So I propose that we adopt the term "house spouse". It's gender neutral and it rhymes. What else do we need?

Get on that, people.
