The male equivalent is the househusband. Webster's Dictionary defines a housewife as a married woman who is in charge of her household.

In British English, a small sewing kit is also sometimes called a huswif,: 115  housewife or hussif.In the Western world, stereotypical gender roles, particularly for women, were challenged by the feminist movement in the latter 20th century to allow women to choose whether to be homemakers or to have a career. Changing economics also increased the prevalence of two-income households.
