I think what they find oppressive, is the idea of women not having their own source of income. Tbh, most cases in which a woman cannot escape domestic violence happens in situations in which a woman is totally dependent. Sadly, having no money of your own and a partner from hell is the worst thing.
Also, those that look down on housewives are retarded. Housewives are hard workers. I personally believe being a housewife is harder than going to work 9-5.
I don't know, how mothers go work and come home and look after kids, clean and make time for their partners. They are super women.
The 'superwoman' lifestyle isn't for me. Ideally I'd want to just have my own business in which I can work from home.
You're a good woman then
and a pragmatic one. It must be difficult to combine house work+ your daily work and taking care of your husband yourself and the kids. I can understand why many western women prefer not having kids and being housewifes. I'm not old fashionned but i can be a provided if she's a great person and a great mother and wife.
