I actually know a lot of women who work and have househusbands, as I'm entering that age when the dynamic starts to flip because of age gaps and mens' health declining. (He's older than her and retired, and he watches the grandkids after school or takes care of grandma.)

But, I agree, both partners needing to work full-time outside of the house is a situation that is a sign of poverty, and nothing to cheer.
