Also, wusband reads in my mind wuss-band.  Is that intentional on her part?  If so, she is playing into the stereotypical role of emasculating wife er hife.

I’m right there with you Wendy. And it would appear all of the commenters on the original article are on the same page as well.  My personal favorite: “This is just as stupid as the time my college tried to ban every word that contained “man”. The term “freshman” thereafter became known as a sexist slur. They felt women were offended by the word “feshman”. Well, they forgot to ban “woMAN” and “huMAN” too. I guess we still offended all the females by calling them humans. God I hate political correctness.”

Man, I hate that kind of thing.  “Wusband”, “hife”, “womyn” . . . I remember there was a lesbian couple on “The Dog Whisperer” once who called their dog a “Doberwoman.”  (Well, “Doberwomyn,” probably.)  Um, Dobermans are named after the guy who developed the breed.  His last name was Dobermann.  It’s got nothing to do with male oppression.

Am I the only one who thinks that the most liberated thing to do is not to get all worked up over ancient etymology and just use.  the.  damned.  words.?  The stupid thing is that even if you replace the baggage-laden word with a new one, the new one eventually becomes just as baggage-laden as the old one.

I’m sick of people degrading cooking as too female.  Somebody has to cook.  Even if you eat at restaurants all the time, somebody is doing “woman’s work” in the kitchen.  If you don’t want to feel like your husband expects you to cook and clean and wait on him, don’t marry a chauvinist.
