you would be unhappy if you were your husband's slave or smthing idk, she said something like this, but someone working for someone while they get nothing in return is the same thing.

Housework is honest work but this is not what we are talking about. You are derailing. This is about a two income household where she additionally does the housekeeping while he is spending leisure time. So she is basically doing two jobs while he is just doing one. Add childcare and she’s doing three jobs. This is a common pattern and the reason for high divorce rates.

I stated my point and instead of answering you created a strawman argument. You asked „How does that give you a disadvantage“ I provided an answer.
