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.

I agree. The way it's written makes the author seem bitter, but if you get passed that, you realise that there are many good points to be found in the list that he's made. I suppose he wrote it in a way that would infuriate some and thus get more clicks. It's a terrible practise, but I still think that not everything he mentions should be dismissed because of his terrible attitude.
