Modern women were "liberated" from the kitchen and all household chores by the second-wave feminism of the 1960's and the continuing fall out of the failures of that wave of feminism.

Instead of promoting the idea of "women can work too" the second wave feminists often denegrated women who still chose to work in the home and learn traditional "womens work" skills such as cooking, cleaning, sewing, and child care - among others...

The key failure in this approach was that many of the skills were already being learned by men that were just interested in life skills or interested in these things as a profession. This meant that women that didn't atleast try to pick up some of these life skills now look rather inferior to potential mates now later in life. And what's worse is that many uneducated, unsuccessful men will still marry some of these girls and neither of the two of the mating pair will have these life skills and pass them onto their children which is a sad state indeed.

This could be argued to be offset by some women having so much professional success outside the home that they make so much money they can hire cooking and cleaning staff for the home. In these cases the female (as some single males would have done in the past) has substituted one valuable life skill for another and is able to trade both through fiat currency exchange on the free markets. Unfortunately this situation is an exception and not the norm because many women chose to become teachers or social workers and many other low wage positions. People in these positions have to work a full 40 hours a week plus they have to do their own housework and thats the real issue here.

The second wave feminist plan was a utopia of free market capitalism and equality - but in practice it has yielded what we have in modern day society - which is women that are just wholly unprepared for the working world and the house keeping world. It's been a lose lose for everyone.

Ah yes... I also dated only the lower half of a frog for a while there.

I wish it had worked out better in the end for both of us.
