And it isn't humiliating to me, you are right-but there is a big negative connotation with it. I know plenty of guys who would look down on me if I became one. Similar to being a nurse, it is sadly not respectable for some reason.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean, it does suck that that kind of attitude still exists in society with men who choose to be househusbands or nurses or other 'feminine' jobs. The ultimate problem is freedom of choice, that women AND men should choose to do whatever THEY want to do and have the opportunity to do it just as much as the other sex, and have the freedom to not be ridiculed for it.
