Men in Pink Shoes

A man in pink shoes. This is an idiom I made myself. It simply means - a man doing a woman's job. Looking for a living is very difficult these days, and because of this fact, many of our today's men has stepped down from their macho pedestals and have resorted to wear pink shoes. Haven't you noticed that there are more male nurses and teachers now, than 20 years ago? There are also more male caregivers and now there are more male nannies and not to mention - housebunds (male version of housewives). We just hired a male nanny for my son. He also works as a house boy. He finds that there is nothing gay about it. He has a positive outlook in life and for the first time,I had a good feeling about hiring him. I have confidence that he would do his job better than the other female nannies we hired. Sometimes, the only person who could do a better job in a lady's work is a man. I think John is that guy. My husband is also a housebund. I am not ashamed to admit that during the morning, he takes care of my son, washes clothes and cleans some part of our house. He does his job excellently, and I am proud of how he has raised my son Ken. Doing a ladies work doesn't mean that a guy is gay. It only means that the guy is not insecure of his macho image and that he is ready to do a lady's job if necessary. I, personally think, that a lady's job doesn't make a guy less of a man when he does it. In actuality, it makes him more in touch of his feminine side and makes him more of a complete being.
