I want to think it was not like this in the past. You have to give women trivial tasks to keep their little minds busy or else they look for reasons to hate you, stir chaos, gossip, or get into hoa bullshit. It's because usually she'd have five children going mom mom mom all day long and simple tasks like housecleaning took longer than five minutes to walk back and forth to push buttons.
A big part of it is just the concept existing. It probably never crossed our great great grandparents mind, the thought I could do better. They just met each other through church or family, took a liking to each other, married, and had kids. There was no feminism screaming get fat get tattoos, get stds, get abortions, spend all your time getting student debt so you can be office flora for 40 years and die single and unloved. Women see celebrities talking about this and instead of thinking this sounds horrible they think wow, a celebrity said that I'm going to do that unquestioningly haha fuck society
