I don't think it's humiliating for men to become house husbands at all. I think it comes down to choice and whatever choice the man/woman chooses then that's great.
Women are usually the ones that stay at home because from the moment the baby is born it needs its mother more than it needs its father - it's a biological fact. The woman is the one with boobs and milk and the one with the inherent motherly skills. This isn't saying that the woman should always be the housewife, because certainly men can too, but this is the reason why most women feel that they have to be the ones to stay at home and look after the children.
Also, being a housewife/husband is more than just chilling out at home and cooking. Looking after a baby or children is hard work. And sociological studies have shown that even when the MAN decides to be the househusband and the woman decides to work fulltime, the women still ends up coming home and doing most of the housework/childbearing. It's referred to as the 'second shift.'
