I'd never thought about that before, but you're right. Of course the nuance behind it is to suggest equality--but really, we can't even use the word husband anymore, without implying subservience? That's not fair, I'm officially reclaiming the word for my own empowerment.

Alternatively, we could just start calling them "the old paycheck-generator."
