In general, I believe that the women's rights movement was about freedom to make choices. We shouldn't criticize those who choose the traditional wife and homemaker role if that is what's best suited to them and if their mate prefers and/or accepts that kind of relationship. I'd say the same about men, who shoulld be allowed to be homemakers supported by their mates if thats what works best in that relationship.
The behavior described in the OP, however, is reprehensible. Stealing, mooching, and not following basic rules of courtesy are not acceptable regardless of gender or age; expecting someone else to solve all your problems for you does not make for an adult relationship; relying on a trusted partner for support in finding a solution is fine, or even makes for a stronger relationship.
I think everyone should spend at least a year living on their own, in their own place, paying their own bills from their own job as a passage into adulthood. It sounds as if the women in the OP are trying to avoid become adults.
