I can kind of see where first person is coming from because of the historically racial and class connotations of domestic workers in colonial societies, but i think it's a case of confusing the specific with the general. I don't think there's anything inherently exploitative or chauvinistic in fairly paying someone to clean, the problem is that it's almost never fair, and those jobs are of course often done by people who are in especially coercive circumstances.
I guess what I'm saying is that we must press the big Socialism button in order to make maids unproblematic
