In 2010, housewife is a full time job . . . for a chicken or a person living in a mud hut. Can a woman find enough meaningless crap to do to fill a day? Sure, but why.
Come over to my house, smart guy, and I'll show you enough work to occupy you from 6 a.m. to midnight. And none of it is meaningless, unless, perhaps, your definitions of "meaning" are quite materialistic.
