I wasn't taking it as an accusation. I was just looking at the word with all the bias and baggage it carries and deciding that I just don't understand its usage. I know someone who was so tied to it that I couldn't write a single sentence without her blasting me for being a sexist patriarch (another word heavily misused). I've basically divorced myself from the whole thing. I'll teach my kids to sew and cook and write code and I'm not going to care which of them wants to do what and when. If my daughter decides that she wants to grow up to be a mommy and take care of house, its her choice and I'm going to respect it. Same if my son decides that he wants to be a house husband.
