It depends.

There are some brilliant women who are doctors, scientists etc. who do get a lot of satisfaction from their careers.

However, being a clerk is not a career, it’s a job. And in that case, what you state makes sense.

We just don’t know the circumstances for this woman’s case.

Yes, there are certainly exceptions to the rule. I do believe that women, in general, are better off focusing on home and family while her husband goes out and earns the money.

Gender roles are a real thing. It doesn't mean women are inferior to men. In fact, from my perspective as a man, I feel that women have a lot going for them and a lot more options in life than a man would have. They also have a much better ability to hold families together and to be caretakers for elderly family members.

A man is pretty much stuck in his gender role as well. He is expected to be the breadwinner for his family, as well as being the strong one. The one who is called on to kill the spider in the bathtub, so to speak, or to change the flat tire, or get up in the middle of the night to investigate a possible prowler.

I'm sure you can find a few "househusbands" out there but the fact is that they are not respected by society at all.

Feminists love to play lip service to the concept of women serving the role as head of household while the husband assumes a more submissive and domestic role, but that that never plays out in real life. Any man wanting to assume that role and put his wife out into the workforce will be branded a lazy, no-good bum, and quickly dumped by said wife.
