Which ever way it is phrased is equally clueless. How many women today plant their own vegetable gardens to the extent they are canning fruits and vegetables to last through the winter. How many make their own soap and candles, sew clothes for the entire family, bake bread, cook daily meals for their families. How many are braiding rugs, crocheting or quilting blankets for bedding? Before vacuum cleaners, rugs were taken up, and dust beaten out of them. Sweeping, washing dishes were a part of daily chores, not to mention all the ironing. And, of course, tending and teaching children. Women were also tending chickens, milking cows, selling milk for "egg money". One my female ancestors made her egg money by making and selling brooms in her spare time. Others did fine embroidery that were for sale.
It wasn't until after the second world war and the inventions of vacuums, dishwashers, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, microwaves, canned goods, frozen foods that women--housewives--began to find themselves with time on their hands. It wasn't the government or "feminists" that ushered housewives into the workplace because they were dependents. Housewives--especially as children were of school age--looked around for what else the could do, what else needed to be done because they had time on their hands. Women, by nature are workers, and we are good workers at that.
This generation needs to be deeply ashamed of how they speak and see women of previous generations--and how they perceive men treating these wonderful partners in living the lives that were theirs. Those "Feminists" whining about women being mistreated--thinking that (most) women would even allow themselves to be mistreated--were imbeciles.
