I am a stay at home dad. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
The prejudice described in the article does exist, and can be frustrating. It is hard to talk to people at a lot of social things, since 'work' is such a common talking point with relative strangers.
More than that, though, I am basically an appliance. This was just posted in MGTOW, and really sums things up accurately. I do all the shopping, I do most of the housework, and I take some writing contracts, and that is fine - I have a lot of flexibility and a lot of free time.. but I have 0 control over my environment, and no way out of it - I have been out of the workforce for long enough that even menial jobs look at me funny when I try to apply, and I don't realistically have alimony/spousal support to fall back on.
So, sure. End the prejudice, but don't start telling men it is a good option. It isn't.
