Exactly. No woman can or should do everything. It is not only unfair, it would put a lot of stress on the relationship.
I think the whole point in the past was that most women DIDN'T work outside the home so they could be happy homemaker. That is not unfair in my eyes. If you make the choice to stay at home then you still have to uphold certain responsibilities, and those include taking care of that home.
And really, it doesn't matter what happened in the past. It's 2003 and societies are different, gender relations are different, etc. Saying how it used to be really can't be expected to have much to do with the way it is now.
