Translation
Engels

Translated by JohnGivrolta
Target language: Engels

in my opinion that man is a male chauvinist who thinks that his wife's role is to work and therefore doesn't need his help
Remarks about the translation
"this" was changed to "that":
either was possible, because there was neither
cet homme-là
nor
cet homme-ci
but in this context, I feel there would be a "distancing" effect from the speaker:
"that" (despicable) man,
so I changed it accordingly, with of course no reflection on the rating

...wife's role is to...
could have been
...wife was born to...
which would have reflected the original more closely, but it was close enough so it was left as is
