Especially when you consider long term ramifications like divorce. There should be no implied advantage to being a the "mother" as compared to the "father" when both parents should be on equal footing.<br /><br />Just because we don't emotionally like something doesn't mean there isn't a logical reason for something to exist.<br /><br />The military got rid of the terms Husband &amp; Wife, replacing it with the term Spouse which is gender neutral. This is no different.
