“The idea that women only belong in the kitchen is dated. The rest of the house needs cleaning”

“A woman’s place is in the kitchen” is an old saying that is no longer politically correct, so there have been variations made. “I don’t believe women should be kept in the kitchen…the rest of the house needs cleaning as well” was posted on Twitter by Hayley Howells on March 6, 2009. “The idea that women only belong in the kitchen is dated and offensive. The rest of the house needs cleaned too” was posted on Reddit—Jokes on September 25, 2018.

“For men who think a woman’s place is in the kitchen: Just remember, that’s where the knives are kept” is another jocular variation on the saying.

Some of my mates say that women should stay in the kitchen, I think that’s really small minded. The rest of the house needs cleaning too.
