I can't get behind most of this.
They cooked,
I do most of the cooking, simply because I'm better at it. If cooking is "women's work," why are the vast majority of restaurant kitchens staffed by guys?
they cleaned,

That has included targeting medical gender transition procedures and openly criticizing women who have not married and had children. One version of this ideology has become known as “trad wife” content, where women envision ‘50s-style housewife ideals including subservience to their husbands, which has made the practice controversial.
