This comes back full circle then to the OP: people doing shit that you probably didn't notice because nobody (except the people who are well educated in why it matters) thought it mattered.I doubt that your opinion, or that of Jarhyn, are of much consequence to Pence, his family, or the Teapartiers in general.I expect my CHILDREN to call me mother, NOT my husband. Ick.
But this is kind of a strange derailment over a tiny bit of cultural norms.
I don't recall ever hearing Pence use the term. But I probably have and just didn't notice because it just didn't matter.

Some people hear a "tiny" violation of cultural norms and others hear a "major overstep of personal boundaries, committed by someone whose legislation attacks those who have learned often at great pains how to navigate respect of personal boundaries".
Some people see "tiny (handed)" violations of cultural norms and others see "a major threat to global nuclear superpower stability".
A lot of people don't pay attention to important details.
When people DO pay attention to important details, they can ascertain such things as "there's a navy coming to attack us" from tiny "insignificant" details.
Pence is on the shallow end of the pool with a hypocritically kinky relationship amidst biased indifference to LGBT plight mostly on the basis that their sexuality seems uncomfortable!
