Regarding Househusbandry
From comments over at Roy's:
We make fun of Lileks's and Goldstein's houshusbandry not because we have a problem with househusbands but because it's so at odds with their tough-guy-bad-ass routine, their fightin' keyboarder personas, and their continual bemoaning of how liberalism has ruined modern society and how things were so much better Back In The Day when men were men and women were ladies and the kids today with that noise they call music and their crazy haircuts. They aspire to a 1950s white upper-middle-class social ideal and denounce society for failing to live up to that ideal, when their own lives are built around a complete reversal of traditional social norms.
Live by the idealized alpha-male social structure, die by the idealized alpha-male social structure.
Well said, FMguru.
