Meaning
This reads as a sharp critique of social roles, especially the way domestic life can become a kind of confinement. The line can be taken to mean that what looks ordinary from the outside may still limit women most heavily. It lands in a discussion about expectations around home, duty, and the unequal burden of staying inside those expectations.
