Dennis Cauchon, An American Role Reversal; As women gain strength,and money, in the workplace, many husbands are now taking on a whole new vibe.USA Today, Mar 26, 2013 (front page).

four consecutive paragraphs:

"After serving her enlisted obligation, [Army Capt Kaththea] Stagg went back to college and rejoined the Army as an officer. She met her future husband during her last year at college. He was a master electrician from Massachusetts working on a Veterans Administration hospital.

"Figuring he was the typical sexist guy — sweet at first, then expecting her to change — Stagg didn't expect the relationship to survive her plans. But when she went to Officer's Candidate School in Georgia, he visited every weekend, then took a pay cut to live there. When she was assigned to South Carolina, he followed.

"She told him she didn't want to have children alone and needed a stay-at-home dad. 'I could do that,' he said.

"'So I asked him to marry me,' recalls Stagg.

My comment:
(a) Just ask Director Ang LEE, who in his formative years as a film director, was supported by his wife.
(b) The English surname Stagg is "from Old English stagga ‘male deer,' 'stag.'"
(c) master electrician

(d) For Officer's Candidate School, see
Officer Candidate School (United States Army)

United States Army, Navy, and Marine Corps each have its own Officer Candidate School.
