It seems to me that the author's point is that while it's mostly ok for a woman to decide to be a housewife, if for whatever reason a man decides to do the same, it's much more likely that he will be ridiculed for his decision. In most societies it's still not ok for a man not to have a job. 

If the author had said that, there might have been some small sliver of reasonability. But when the author put the emphasis on "leisurely life with light housework" rather than using a phrase like "without being ridiculed for the choice", he (and I'm pretty confident it's a "he") demonstrated quite clearly what he thinks about the concepts of house wives and house husbands.
