Only archaic men with lowest of the lowest self-esteem imprison their wives under the guise of housewifehood.

Women are not dullards or nonentities. They have parts to play in every functional society. A real woman has to make some money for herself too.

Being a housewife means you're only useful to your husby as a copulation machine and a babies-producing device. Zero contribution to a functional society. That's bad bad.

Your idea of functional society is what is being practiced in the USA and across Europe that has given birth to a highly disfumctional society where divorce rate is above normal, baby mamas surplus, moral values is zero, LGBTQ people control narrative and a host of other problems.

A woman's role in a family unit is to take care of the home... It's her first priority. She has to plan her other activities around that primary task in such a way that taking care of the home still remains her priority and doing other things doesn't put the home/marriage/family unit at risk of disintegration as is being experienced overseas.

You cannot have more than 24 hours in a day, the man and the woman need to plan their living so that the responsibility of taking care of the home and providing for the family does not suffer.

So, how do you share the above two main responsibilities knowing that specialisation is important and you don't want to jeopardize your union?

A woman doing 8-7 job, a man doing 8-6 job, who will take care of the children? A nanny? Who will take care of keeping the house clean? Another nanny? Who will cook for the family? Another nanny? Did these people being hired to do the job of the man and the woman take part in taking the marriage vows?

Will the man and woman still be able to satisfy the physical, sexual and emotional needs of each other when they're both slaving away their time for other men's businesses?

The risk of men and women doing 8-6 jobs and still being able to contribute qualitatively to keeping the home intact is considerably less if she and the man are working in a business they both own or owned by one of them... teaching, agriculture, real estate, etc. This way, they both have time to take care of their business and children together.

Mind you, only extremely foolish people believe that the housewife is not contributing to the family... If you cannot see the monetary value of what she's doing them find out the cost of hiring someone or people to do the things she does in the process of taking care of the home.

If your idea of women having freedom in marriage is such that women can be doing 8-6 office jobs where they'll be answering yes sir to other men or engaging in improper conducts that may lead she or the husband to infidelity and breaking up of the family then your thinking is very wrong.

The guy with the myopic view in the quote really doesn't know anything yet in life. Imagine someone thinking that taking care of the home and the kids is nothing important!
