in the story all she talks about what the wife should be doing, the cleaning, the caring, the cooking, and all of the above. She uses sarcasm in my eyes because in the old days women did everything their husband asked them to, but now in this generation women are more independent and don't need a husband to live a good quality life. The tone I would say is expressive because she is really expressing how men really expect their wives to do everything their told to do.This is very feminist because women shouldn't have to do all the work while the men do nothing but sit back and relax. It's unfair.
