My question is why aren't they in the kitchen making pies and pot roast?

This really just isn't true.
In fact, quite the opposite is true, imo. Too many special circumstances and situations have been created for special interest groups by government, that it's borderline reverse discrimination.
Private citizens and businesses are free to be bigots, racists, and sexists all they want, within the law, because they have a right to be. We, however, do not have the right not to be offended.
First of all, Universal Suffrage has nothing to do with women at all, was implemented before feminism
Second, even Women's Suffrage has nothing to do with feminism, political groups who supported it called themselves Suffragettes, and their only concern was - voting for women.
Third, Women's Suffrage was granted BEFORE Universal Suffrage, in most countries that have it.
To make it clear:
There was a time when only rich men could vote.
Then rich women (wives of rich men) were allowed to vote
Then ALL men were allowed to vote.
Then EVERYONE was allowed to vote.

All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
It's a fair question, and a good point. Honestly, for me because it's a label that is well-known and understood. I actually don't run into a lot of these pseudo-feminists with their violent or unreasonable tendencies, and a lot of the people I meet don't read into it beyond just wanting pure unadulterated gender equality. It hasn't been an issue that has come up in real life. I guess the people I meet aren't as harsh judges of character.
That's a fact. Universal suffrage (the original thing) was all about allowing all MEN to vote regardless of their wealth and property ownership.
Women's Suffrage allowed women to vote but with WEATLH requirement. It was granted before Universal one.
The thing you are thinking of - is Full Universal Suffrage, that allows everyone to vote regardless of anything.
Oh please, that is called retconned history.
"Most western feminist historians assert that all movements that work to obtain women's rights should be considered feminist movements, even when they did not (or do not) apply the term to themselves"
I call this bs.

I'd think you were shitting me if I hadn't seen the circles people spin in to claim feminism has no use.
Oh, Oxford and Merriam Webster and their retcons.
The issue of rights for women first became prominent during the French and American revolutions in the late 18th century. In Britain it was not until the emergence of the suffragette movement in the late 19th century that there was significant political change.Origin:
late 19th century: from French féminisme
We are off to an amazing start.Paternity leave is the time a father takes off work at the birth or adoption of a child. This kind of leave is rarely paid.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12949382
A survey of 1,300 firms by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) showed that over half believed giving extra paternity leave to fathers would be detrimental.4/10 for the effort, though. Burdening the business by more handouts and entitlements. Is that all Feminism can do?The BCC said the paternity leave rules, coming into force at the same time as the phasing out of the default retirement age, were too much to cope with.
Why so ignorant? You have the internet!
I'm not talking about uselessness of feminism. I was just giving you a history lesson about Universal Suffrage.
Ok let's consult your "reliable" authority sources:
"First Known Use of FEMINISM
1895"
My sources tell me this:
"The first system to explicitly claim to use universal suffrage was France which is generally recognized as the first national system to abolish all property requirements for voting. Republican France first instituted universal male suffrage in 1792."
"The first women's suffrage was granted in Corsica in 1755 and lasted until 1769"
