On a more serious note, reading that article the thing that kept coming to mind is not that these hetero-married women discussed need a "wife", but rather that they need better husbands. What was repeatedly implied was basically "men can't be relied upon, that's just how it is with men". Honestly, that underlying theme strikes me as flat misandry. There is zero reason why a male can't be relied upon to cover 50% (or more, depending on how the family's hours work out) of the household chores, make appointments, do necessary laundry on time, etc. just because they're male. If one pics a male mate who doesn't then that's just picking a mate who doesn't... there are plenty of reliable, capable and willing-to-do-their-share men out there. One does not need to settle for less, but many woman choose to.
