Are Married Men "Husbands?" How About a New Term for a New Relationship?

[Rhondazvous]

Yes, equally. Both words reinforce the Christian ideal of the dominant man and the subservient woman. Wo-man = of man. Just saying the word repeats the lie of Eve coming out of Adam. I'm not uptight about it.  But I think it's time our language grew with us.

That is incorrect with regard to man and woman, at least with regard to subservience, though it does have to do with gender roles.  Man was originally the word for both adult human males and adult human females.  There is an old English translation of Genesis that calls Adam and Eve men.  Werman (weapon man) differentiated males, and wimman  or wifman (weaving man) differentiated females and eventually vowel shifted to woman.  The "wer" eventually disappeared from the language with the notable exception of werewolf.   Wif eventually became wife.

That is an interesting view and worth looking into. I'm coming from a Christian worldview that defines the wo in woman as meaning of man. I never heard it the way you described, Thanks for the education.
