There's a strong ethos among many women that traditionally female tasks like cooking are a form of slavery. That type of misplaced anger isn't easy to fix.
Firstly because the cooking and cleaning performed by slaves was much easier than the hard labor of field work etc. And the male forms of labor are still widely performed but rarely praised.
That is, housewives do safer and less grueling work than men in sanitation, construction, etc but generally receive sympathy. Whereas blue collar men often are considered unsympathetic and undesirable.
The other weird thing about the slave narrative is that the women complaining (about the idea of doing domestic tasks for their husbands or children) often received and treasured that care from their mothers.
And the mothers often (if not typically) treated the children with higher care and respect than their husbands. Making the women complaining about enslavement the slave masters of their mothers.

Checking in to say that me and most of the people I know don’t have to deal with women like this. There are still a lot of traditional-ish women out there.
Mine has a meal for us every night, works tirelessly to provide extra income, take care of the kids, drive people everywhere, etc, and also empathizes with my mental ups and downs trying to navigate work, the world and mid life crisis etc etc.

That must be a Northern issue. I've literally never heard a woman in my life utter these words.

You’re right but I don’t think that’s the case most of the time
These days, the women that stay at home are all glued to their newest favorite addiction, their cell phones and social media. They’ll sit there all damn day on the couch watching Netflix and flicking through Facebook and don’t even realize how fast time flies by. They won’t even get up and cook for themselves, they’ll either order takeout/delivery, or reheat leftovers… by the time the kids get back from school it’s too late for them to start dinner so they just say frick it, fend for yourselves
