To flip that around, is a homemaker (female or male) that doesn't do the household chores sufficiently therefore depriving their externally employed spouse (again female or male) of compensation as well "through no fault of their own"?
I'd be surprised to hear of a good, functioning marriage where one or both spouses, regardless of the genders involved, treated it as transactional or as an adversarial business relationship, which is what your line of argument seems to be suggesting.
