Unequal division of household labor: a private matter or a a political issue. it is a political matter

Wrong frame. You're calling it "political" when you mean "systemic"—but that's precisely why it stays private. Politics requires collective action; households require negotiation between two people. Why should the state dictate who scrubs the toilet?

When the same “private choice” repeats across millions of households, it reflects social structures—patriarchy, norms, and expectations reinforced by media, schools, religion, and institutions. The feminist movement highlights that invisible labour and care work are culturally assigned and undervalued, not naturally chosen.

You've identified a real pattern, but patterns aren't proof of coercion. Millions of people freely choose chocolate ice cream over vanilla—does that make flavor preference "political"? The feminist movement confuses correlation with conspiracy. Until you prove women are forced into these roles rather than choosing them, calling it systemic oppression is just blaming society for individual decisions.

it Normalizes women doing more unpaid domestic labour, limiting equality and justice and weakening women’s rights in practice.

Normalization isn't oppression—it's preference. Women earn more degrees now, work more jobs, yet still choose different domestic arrangements. Stop blaming culture for choices. Why do you assume women can't think for themselves?
