The title of the organization is intentionally a bit humorous.  But it also
reflects a presupposition that husbands are _supposed_ to do certain work
around the house.  Like cleaning the gutters, defrosting the fridge, putting
the dishes in the dishwashing machine, raking the lawn, etc etc.  And these
guys will also clean toilets and do other sorts of traditionally women's work.

I s'pose if one had a _real_ "hubby" in the house (my partner is out of the
country) one could shame him by hiring a "hubby" to do the work he's too lazy
to do.  Of course, one would have to have one's own income to do this ...
