Stay at home dads are commonly perceived to be and perceive themselves to be...in some way, effeminate, and failing at their manly duties, yes.
When people ask me what I do irl and I tell them I'm a stay at home and homeschooling dad, that hangs in the air a bit, and you pretty much have to follow it up with "and a very small scale commercial producer". Then there are the smiles and the recognition and the identification as "one of them" essentially.
