    Last time I checked "husbandry" was the "scientifically correct" term for "care and maintenance"....

    Husbandry implies linguistically that the care relies on a male.

    I'm not agreeing, just clarifying the OP.

    Oh, the huMANity!

    (There are simply too many English words that came about in a male-dominated world and imply masculinity to really get offended. I'm as liberal as they come, and you've gotta pick your battles.)

    Husbandry has nothing to do with male or female.... Husbandry is just care and maintenance, as what was said before. No sexism implied.
