Inside the Unexpected Revolution of TikTok’s Happy Little Househusbands — Why Their Story Will Change How You See Fitness, Family, and Success Forever
Most also emphasize the domestic labor of being a househusband and seem to understand the full-time nature of the gig, but some glorify the idea that it’s mostly a life of leisure. “When she’s gonna be a CPA so you can be a Tesla driving, Lululemon-wearing golfing-all-day-husky-caretaking househusband,” another TikTok says, showing a guy dancing around his wife.
But whether the TikToks center around the actual work of being a househusband or the myth that it’s all relaxation, these TikToks still support the same general conclusion: Almost anyone would stay home and not have a job if they had that choice. These videos are often framed as some sort of male feminist reclamation or as something worth praising, but they’re fundamentally no different than any of the TikToks in the #housewife hashtag. In both, we’re presented with couples who have the financial means of allowing one person to stay home to commit themselves to cooking, cleaning and taking care of their family. There ultimately needn’t be anything gendered about it.
