As if she ever cooked anything - or did anything else for herself - in her life.

Wow thank you for that insight! I’m going to pick this up before the movie comes out for sure now :-)

Absolutely. I’d like to see more male homemakers as well because it’s always good for kids to grow up seeing that both men and women play an equal role in raising children and to have someone who can take the pressure off a partner with a high pressure job.

The funny thing is, that women still value the career aspirations and (potential) future income of a man still as one of the most defining factors when looking for a partner.
