Part 2/13:
The tone continues to be highly critical, painting women as manipulative beings who often take advantage of men, treating them as utilities rather than partners. The speaker reminisces about a stereotypical ideal of women’s domestic perfection—neatly ironed laundry, singing breezes, baking, and meticulous housework—celebrating an era where women internalized pleasure through household chores. However, the speaker laments that modern women have shed these traditional roles, viewing such work as oppression, and instead indulge in personal hygiene and superficial pleasures like manicures and shopping.
