Was being a 'housewife' the first skilled trade that was effectively destroyed via automation? It seems that the rise of affordable household appliances (laundry, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, even central heating) as well as prepared foods took what was once an honorable trade with associated skill sets, and made it obsolete. Whereas just a few decades back, a housewife might have taken pride in being a skilled seamstress capable of sewing and mending and patching and whatnot, the rise of globalized manufacturing drove down prices by herding chinks into sweatshops and making them produce garbage that's so cheap it's not even worth fixing if it gets damaged. Boom--that's the destruction of a traditional skill set that a woman could have taken pride in mastering. And that's just one example--the various convenient machines in your kitchen make it so that a meal can be prepared in a fraction of the time it once was, processed foods and refrigerators make it so that you no longer need to make a daily trip to the market, etc.
My point in bringing this up, is that, Jews aside (and they've certainly played a role), am I wrong in thibking that capitalism is responsible in part for the rise of feminism and the collapse of the family? That capitalism automated the housewife role, which was a respectable, skilled trade, and made it so that any thot could run a household? If I were a woman of quality, I would be very dissatisfied as a homemaker, especially once the kids turn 6 and go to school, simply because it doesn't earn one respect anymore. And one of the reasons housewives don't receive respect is because it actually is ridiculously easy nowadays; you press the button on the dishwasher, press the button on the laundry machine, and press the button on the microwave to heat up some plastic quasi-food.

not fully, increased efficiency just allows for higher standards of foods and recipes and they regret the opportunity to achieve that level of excellence and pleasure for her man who she is taught to disdain. Why do house work when more easier praise could be had at a now more gossipy work place.
If anything the gossip being moved away from houses and into the work place was a network effect you can't beat. it's the reason why women don't work in the manly arenas.

I didn't read your post. This is now an Abbigail meme thread.
It really depends on what you let your wife get away with. Hold her to higher standards and you will get a higher quality and better kept household. Dont and you will get a serviceably kept household with a fat wife who just plays Facebook games all day.
Much like other industries, technology has allowed for greater productivity. This can be a blessing or a curse.
Agrarian gender norms weren't as biologically anchored as you thought, it would seem!
The reason societies had that domestic-outside divide with gender roles was just due to the way agrarian societies handle stuff. Industrialized societies are different, gender is now abstracted, which takes on its most extreme form with transgenderism since the culture still has gender roles encoded in it but its arbitrary nature in the context of an automated, industrialized state with machine guns and nukes has been noticed. Instead of abolishing the gender role meme it mutated into not being anchored to your genitals. I had initially thought it'd vanish and we'd become a gender neutral species but it would seem gender is a faith and thus transgenderism gets more common the more recent the generation.
Not to mention most people live in apartments and single income is a luxury.
