Masculinity and the Stay At Home Dad
A post about being a stay at home dad and a masculine man at the same time. There is a thought that the type of man that would choose to be at home with the kids is in some way effeminate and that is not true. I am not the boys mother and I don't parent the way their mother does. I am their father and I love being home with them.

does a stay at home dad lose his masculinity and appeal?
Here at Rants n’ Rascals I talk a lot about being a stay at home mom. Is that because it’s the norm? Not anymore. In fact the topic arose for me while we were out with a group of friends and two of the father’s were in fact (like my hubby) stay at home dad’s.
For the longest time it was a woman who took on the role as a home mommy while daddy went out, full-filling his duties as a the provider financially for the family. But more and more women are finding their place and love in the workplace while daddy’s are changing diapers, preparing supper, going to toddler time at the local rec and putting the babes down for naps.
But does a man lose his masculinity by being a stay at home dad?
Does he lose his appeal?
How do his children view him as the main caregiver in the home while mom is out working?
