But had those artists and musicians served as homemakers while their wives worked in the mills, they surely would have been looked down upon at historical points in time. Hell, even within the last 30 years you could see it.

Oh, of course, I never meant to imply I'm special, or have something that hasn't been had before. I was just simply stating that I don't feel I fit into the stereotypical male frame, which in turn makes me question how much gender roles are simply influenced by society.
I agree about the homemakers bit too. Though I can't say I would be one to look down upon them, I can see a lot of people doing so.
