With the rising numbers of stay-at-home Dads, will respect and prestige of domestic work increase?

I was listening to a story on NPR this morning about stay-at-home Dads. In the first paragraph, the reporter suggested that domestic engineering was a real job:

Kevin Folk’s new job requires a lot of multitasking, effective time management, a calm demeanor and excellent diaper-bag packing skills.

Women have long been complaining that domestic work does not get the respect it deserves. They have said that it is a “real” job, the equal of any that brings in a salary. So far, though, it seems like they haven’t gotten much traction on this idea.

But now, with the recession, many men are at home, perhaps discovering the joys of full time fatherhood. So, now that men are doing it, will respect and prestige for the position finally be realized? If so, what is your reaction to that? If not, what will happen to the men who do this?
