Yes, this is about Reddit, but it's plausible enough. There are 554 comments. It's from a year ago.
Elsewhere, some time ago, I mentioned a AITA thread about a man on a date with a woman who, he found out, wanted to be childfree...AND a housewife.
Apparently, SHE hadn't heard that with modern household appliances, you can't argue that housekeeping is a full-time job. Or that millennials, at least, are not eager to work 40 hours while supporting a spouse who only works 20 hours. (Obviously, anyone at home with a baby or toddler, by contrast, typically works far more than 40 hours.)
What men - aside from those who want trophy wives because the men have more money than they know what to do with - have ever wanted to support wives who want far more leisure time for themselves than the MEN have?
Incredibly, most of the commentators attacked HIM.

So I listed them according to "controversial," since that's the best way to find those who, very sensibly, pointed out that of COURSE we would laugh out loud at the would-be homemaker...if the genders were reversed. Just because she might consider her hobbies or other non-paying pursuits to be worthwhile doesn't mean anyone else is willing to SUPPORT her and her lifestyle. Even a would-be housewife who plans to have children has to get the partner's consent before expecting the partner to be the sole breadwinner - the "choice" exists only so far as there are enough traditional breadwinning partners to choose from - and plenty of men PREFER wives/mothers who work outside the home. Even full-time.
Interestingly, even those who said "YTA" did NOT suggest that housekeeping for two adults is a full-time job, in this century.
And, for the record, the woman did not suggest that she planned to spend any of her leisure hours doing, say, unpaid secretarial work for her husband. So that would strongly suggest she was, in fact, looking for a sugar daddy - not a balanced adult relationship.
