Inside the Unexpected Revolution of TikTok’s Happy Little Househusbands — Why Their Story Will Change How You See Fitness, Family, and Success Forever
The TikToks under the #househusband hashtag generally sell this fantasy of how happy a guy would be maintaining the home and doing the cooking if his wife was making enough money. Some call for extremes like the aforementioned seven-figure salaries, while others say they’d be content with their partners making a more “reasonable” $100K a year.
Though some TikToks are purely hypothetical, asking whether a guy would do this at all, other videos come from guys who are actually living the lifestyle. One current househusband documents himself making his wife’s coffee, doing her laundry and delivering her breakfast to her work-from-home desk. “Follow to end the patriarchy,” he concludes. His comments are filled with women commenting on how attractive his actions are, as though it comes as a surprise that a man would be committed to taking care of the household in the same way women are often expected to despite also working a job themselves.
