Gen Z wives not sweet slaves

ABOUT-TURN: NO OBEDIENT HOSTESS TAKES OFF HUBBY'S SHOES AND OFFERS A DRINK NOW

- Hein Kaiser

HOW things have changed, even though male-first traditionalists may have wanted them to stay the same as mid-last century.

Housewives may be dull and desperate on television, as all the Housewives Of Whatever reality shows have hurled at audiences, but in real life it is a far cry from what was expected in the 1950s and 1960s.

Back then, being a wife came with a manual that read like a cross between a finishing school textbook and the rules for making beds just right.

Today's Gen Z would rather eat cold pizza on the couch than play the role of obedient hostess. That is, if they're not trad-wives.
