"The idea that such "housewifery" even exists in 2008 is pretty funny. Maybe the illusion of it is maintained by Martha Stewart (who in reality is a single 66 year old billionaire, with an army of servants), but the reality of it is long dead."
Where do you live ? I can tell you "housewifery" is alive and well in the suburbs. As I have written here before, in the Atlanta suburbs, moms that don't work are still seen as a status symbol (for the wives anyway). I have heard the neighbors wives say things like, "I'll never go back to work !" Privilege indeed.
