No, it's definitely both. You're just not going to get an essay-length nuanced analysis out of a Tweet, so it's easy to give people the least charitable interpretation. It's unfair to reduce feminism and the larger points about divisions of labor to this one tweet, and then take the moral high ground. Twitter and Bluesky suck and have little redeeming value, but here is a chance to have more extended discussions without making snap judgments.
There's a portion of Marxist men, certainly not all of them, who partake in essentialism and are reluctant to take women seriously, along with other cultural issues. The class struggle is a venn diagram with the rights of people in marginalized groups. It's important, but it's not absolutely everything.
