‘Having a house-husband would be only marginally preferable to having a house-infestation’

August 5, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

Julie Burchill on that revolting modern creature:

My Swedish friend Cristina told me decades ago about a good part of a generation of men in her home country whose name translated to English as The Velour Daddies, “because they stay at home all day looking after the baby, on paternity leave, and they wear velour tracksuits so when the baby is sick on it, they can just bung it in the washing machine.

And the wife gets so bored with this, she is off having sex with Finnish men, who are not tamed.”

…smart, tough people want smart, tough people, not some parasite poncing about at home with nothing to talk about at the end of the day.
