Ep 1 tells us outright that Vision does not eat human food (and Ep 2 confirms that he CANNOT) All the meals Wanda makes are only for herself, which justifies why Vision is so helpless when she asks him to chip in

And his human face is just him shape-shifting his nanites into an illusion of one He doesn't shave, and he doesn't excrete or sweat, so he doesn't need to bathe The bathroom is as irrelevant to him as the kitchen is

The only housewife chores that impact him in any way would be dusting and vacuuming the common areas etc And even then Wanda generates most of the dust (95% of which indoors is shed human skin cells) If Vision lived by himself he'd be just fine without her, practically speaking

It's interesting The show on the surface level seems to be Wanda punishing herself by putting herself in a sexist society that traps her in Betty Friedan domestic servitude etc But it's also clearly a fantasy of being needed, of having a job that matters

Being a housewife being a job that involves nurturing and creating, as opposed to being a superhero whose powers involve combat and destruction The twins come along to give her someone who needs her more genuinely than Vision does

This is especially notable because by the time we hit the 80s, real sitcoms were actively trying to subvert the whole sexist 50s paradigm All three of the shows the 80s episode references - Family Ties, Growing Pains, Full House - subverted the breadwinner dad/homemaker mom
Show this thread -
Family Ties had the mom also be employed but working from home (as an architect) Growing Pains, which came later, escalated by switching it so the dad worked from home (as a therapist) and was the primary homemaker during the day Full House, of course, didn't have a mom

There’s a reality show called The 1900 House. Social experiment in England, modern family in year 1900 (no contest, just living the 1900 paradise) Mother was well overworked, needed to hire a maid...maybe part of the dirt was all the coal fired...everything in London.

The woman participants followed the fashion, too; layers of fabric and metal. They drew the line at vintage menstrual products; They went to the local pharmacy for a more modern product.
