I suppose home maker is a term we can agree on for a stay at home spouse. This role isn't really necessary in my case, as my girlfriend and I have no children. The comparison I make is to the model itself, in that I make less than my significant other and am home a large amount of the time. She pays more bills than I do.

The difference is not in finance but in power and its utility in a relationship.

I might well be that loser. I believe agency is the component necessary for a stable relationship, not finance specifically. I could spend much of the day at home sculpting and and taking care of children and I might maintain respect. I don't have to make more, but I should have my own life. Not to balance against hers, but because I'm my own person, with wants, dreams, a stable character. Women want to date well rounded people. Be one.
