That appears to be a very sexist attitude your nephew's wife has!
If a man said a woman should stay in the kitchen where she belongs, he would be hung drawn and quartered,
Well, I think in today's society, there is a big problem with defining roles.
Women these days insist on going to work and palm the children off on a child minder. Then they wonder why the children grow up with no manners, or the kids slope off and smash up a government building, they spend very little time with the parents. If women have children, they should stay home and look after them and bring them up properly like they're supposed to do. They need the money? Don't have kids until you can afford it. It's not rocket science.
I could go on about women not being a housewife but I'll save it. We even have women bus drivers, not much reversing for them to master, fortunately.
Women want equality, except when it suits them, like having men open doors for them, allow them to go first. Expecting men to pay in a restaurant. Getting men to do DIY jobs.
On a Friday or Saturday night, young ladies go 'clubbing'. They wear mini skirts that show their knickers, they glam themselves up to the nines. Yet, if a man glances at them, they get a mouthful of foul language about being a pervert. It's no wonder men are confused.
When did you last see a woman open a door for a man?
