a significant part of why I loathe feminism

I'll take the bait.

Yes, there are feminists who devalue housework as menial, but they are taking on the patriarchal society's tendency to devalue any work that women are associated with. Note that being a secretary used to be considered high-skill, high pay work; when women dominated the field, it was considered menial. Unfortunately, there are elements of the feminist movement that are hostile to homemakers, but I think feminism is about expanding choices, not restricting them

the catch.

one of the founding principles of second-wave feminism is that the work of a housewife (and, by extension, a mother) is meaningless, demeaning, stifling, and utterly undesireable; therefore, no woman should be a housewife. if a woman decides to be a housewife anyway, despite the unmitigated discouragement, she is wasting her life and must be a lazy, brainless leech
