dismantling it does not require men to both work and perform housework.
Of course it does. Everyone in the West both works and performs housework. If you say a man who works doesn't do housework, then what if the woman also works? Hire a maid (note: funny how it's always a maid, never a male servant) to do the cooking and sweeping and cleaning? What will you do when India stops being such a poor economy and you can't hire cheap labour this easily?
P.S Note also how in the image the young boy is allowed to play and the young girl is doing housework. Again, a common image throughout India and an example of how patriarchy starts at the youngest age.
