No feminists actually say that "feminists want women to not be homemakers"?
'''Gender roles''' refer to the social constructs, by which men are assigned to some traditional duties, and women to others. While cultures worldwide have had disparate conceptions of gender roles, in the [[Christian]] tradition, the roles are those of men as breadwinners and women as homemakers.

==Feminist double-talk==
Pioneering feminist [[Simone de Beauvoir]] sought to stop women from being housewives, whether they wanted to or not. She wrote:
{{quotebox|[W]oman's work within the home [is] not directly useful to society, produces nothing. [The housewife] is subordinate, secondary, parasitic. It is for their common welfare that the situation must be altered by prohibiting marriage as a 'career' for woman." - ''The Second Sex'', 1949.
