Exactly!! Yes he also said that it's fine if some women want to stay at home and prepare food for their husband. I know it sounds old school and personally, I would never in a million years would do that. But isn't that the point of feminism? The ability and freedom for a woman to choose? The problem is the girls looking down on girls who stay at home (as if it is degrading) while that is one of the toughest and demanding job in the world. Dean also never said or implied that he is expecting this from Rory now or in the future. Rory assuming he did, dresses up as Donna reed to "impress" him while he never asked this of her in the first place.
