To lose more respect for MIL than I thought possible?

MIL came out with this gem: ?Feminism is the worst thing to happen to women. I wish I could be a housewife but I have to work. Feminism ruined it?.

This was not a joke.

This woman is 51 years old and works full time as a nursery nurse in a school and had to go to university. FIL is out of a job and a lazy fucker. SIL is 24 and at university, they all vote, don't dress up or care much about their appearance and demand to be treated with respect.

How would that be possible without feminism? Marital rape, no job prospects, no votes, no university for one. To be a housewife is still her choice. If FIL wasn't such a lazy self entitled idiot she would be able to do this but although having a daughter and two granddaughters, she wished feminism was abolished?

The ignorance. God, I'm just so offended by the woman. DH was offended by this too but stuck up for her by saying it's only her opinion.

AIBU to have lost the little respect I did have for this woman?

I may be BU, I'm a bit miffed.
